Ditch the bike and get a JCR bumper!

Im considering about 3 different bumpers right now, the DIY winch from JCR, but I have no welder so Id have to go to a friends, the Rustys Prerunner 2 winch bumper, the Rough Country Winch Bumper, or L&L FAB prerunner winch bumper, but I dont wanna have to wait a month + for it. If I did the rustys I could probably afford a snorkel too with my 420 budget.
