FrankZ, i really like the design of that winch bumper! Exactly like the one i want to make for mine, if i can find a way to take your lower design (winch plate/fairlead holder) and CHIF8008's upper push bar design and mate them together, it would be the ideal bumper for me!

as wierd as it seems they are a big help on the trail. lets say your by a tree or rock and need to get out, you cant with regular doors. so mine go up. ohh and when i barely squeeze between people when parking it i dont gotta worry about not being able to open my doors.(haha but the other people cant leave with my rig by them lol)

I forgot i asked a question in here, i went into your album and they look pretty good

Nice bumpers! Makes me want to do mine even more. But I have to wait. Sooooo much to do before worrying about bumpers.
