Default Does anybody out there know where I can get a good front winch bumper.....PLEASE HELP

First off, Id like to start off by introducing myself. My name is Rudy, and I own a 98 XJ. I purchased the Cherokee about three months ago, but im brand new to this forum. I come in search of a front winch bumper. I have a Smitybuilt XRC8 8,000 lb winch that I will be mounting on it, its uses the basic mounting bolt pattern, so it must have that. Im looking for sumthing not too excessive, but also not too plain. I would like sumthin maybe like a pre-runner style, and that is also going to come around to the front tires. (kinda like a full wrap around). Ive seen some that leave gaps...and I dont like that look. Im trying to go for a nice clean look, but that is going to have everything i need. It would also have to have the mounts/tabs for the D-Ring (02) shackles. It can be bare metal, as I would paint it myself. ANY info from your part would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

There are a bunch on ebay from small fab shops. I can't vouch for their quality, but some of them seem legit and fairly inexpensive

I just bought the backbone from Detours Offroad. It keeps kind of a stock look and is cheaper than a full bumper.
