Default Front winch bumper

Ok so my birthday is tomorrow and the wife gave me the ok to order a front bumper if u wanted to. I like the rustys offroad one with a hoop and hides the winch under it. I've also read people say rustys stuff is no good the welds break. Is there any other company that makes a bumper like rustys that hides the winch and has a hoop? Or is a rustys one really ok? I'd like to have tie in mounts with it also with a steering box brace.

You think any front bumper tie in brackets will work with any bumper

My ARB bumper hides my winch and I guess you could say it has a hoop.

I've been running a Rustys winch bumper for over 4 yrs. now and zero problems. 99.9% of the crap you hear about Rustys is BS and when you question them they have never owned a single piece of his equipment only heard from someone else that.


I personally have over $5k of his gear and not one problem. Here is my winch bumper and have used it a lot even pulling 3/4 ton trucks out of the mud and up hills.

I have a rustys lift and love it so I kind of figure everything I read is BS. Did u use tie in brackets with ur front bumper? That's my only issue I wanna use tie in brackets.
