Ordered this one with some minor changes. Main tube extended 4" farther on the sides, omitted the receiver, and added d-ring mounts.

I believe he makes one with a winch mount. I had him omit the receiver. I'm actually thinking about mounting a winch on my front crossmember (after beefing it up) and mounting the fairlead where the receiver would have been.

I found it on ebay back in August. When I was finally ready to buy a bumper I couldn't find it but found a different one he had listed. Emailed him, asked about it, ordered it, and now waiting on it.

He's in Oregon.

oh, here's the listing he currently has - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_500wt_1182

Yeah, if I was doin a winch on a bumper I would want more than the factory mounts.
For me the bumper is honestly more for looks than anything. It's my DD and about the only wheelin I do is sand or mud gettin to a kayak launching spot.
