Front bar ideas for the 80

Mate of mine that does all the fab. work on the Celica is going to do a chromo tube front bar. He builds 3/4 and full chassis drag cars out of the stuff so he knows what hes doing with it. My question is, who has a tube bar (on any 4WD), and do you have a cradle for the winch??

It will have 4 light mounts, 2 aerial mounts, the small idicator/park lights in it, etc, etc, and may have a skid plate sort of thing underneath the winch area.

We have a few pics (ideas) on what its going to look like, but want peoples ideas/opinions on what should be incorporated in it.
