Default winch bumper pics

I am lookin for some pics of ZJ bumpers prefer winch bumpers. I would also like to see how they are mounted to the frame, I keep on seeing some really nice XJ bumpers but not so many Grands. I did a search and couldnt find any good ZJ pics, oh ya 95 is my year Grand

A lot of companies make winch bumpers for the ZJ. Such as...
http://nates4x4.com/
http://www.protofab4x4.com/

There are probably more, but I cant think of them right now

Hanson makes a pretty good looking winch bumper.

Yeah, that's the reason I built mine myself, plus it's exactly how I want it to be.

fiberglass is still extremely strong tho. When it is packed tight it is hard to chip and is just as strong as steel fora lighter weight. The key is how they make it. It will work flawlessly fora which bumper and in a high speed crash it will break just before damage to the unibody occurs. I would run them if i had a GC.
