that detours winch plate is sick but real expensive. I like how it go's in 2 the frame but at that price i could spend a little more money and get a hard kore bumper off of kevens off road or rustys off road. but never know they had a winch plate i wonder whats stronger the ice land off road winch mount or detours one http://www.icelandoffroad.com/bumpers.html thats the ice land off road one

 

The KOR and Rusty's weight more and run just under 1000.00 shipped. The Iceland offroad will run you 800.00 shipped for the whole winch bumper and I think they look good plus you have the weight savings. Iceland also just sales their winch mount for 210.00 shipped. I think the detours is a well engineered kit but yea it's a little more but I also like the way it ties into the unibody.

 

One of my wheeling buddies have bought winch bumper w/ mounting bracket at icelandoffroad and so far he seems satisfied with it...
