Default Winch anyone ??

Anybody here running a winch ?? I have a Superwinch EPi 9.0 that I pulled off the Jeep before it got traded in and are looking for pics of winch bumpers..

I did a google search and about all I really found was Fab Fours, which finish aside, is a first rate product but highly expensive.....did I mention the finish doesn't hold up well ??

Here is the Fab Fours, too bad the powder coating sux..

Awesome! I was wondering if this could be done judging by all that space back there. Any cooling or safety concerns with that setup?

If I go Fab Fours again I'll just get bare metal and have friend paint it to match my truck I guess..

Thanks for the replies..

Trail Ready makes a winch bumper for the F150 as well. Pretty similar looking to what you posted already. Pricey too!\

Redwolf.....very nice!!! I checked into mounting one there and could only find kits for Super Duty. Yours is custom made?

For those needing the front plate
Amazon Amazon


Some other bumpers:

http://www.aluminess.com/trucks.htm very pricey but light!!! They also make nice rear bumpers with racks!!!!

http://www.ultimatetruck.com/product...r_grille_guard Made of slightly thinner material for slightly less weight and slightly less cost

How did you get the winch to mount there did you make the mount yourself, did you order it? If you made it yourself could you include some spec please I would also like to do this. Thanks for any info you have.
