Default front end replacement

I've been looking for a descent front end replacement for a while and the only one that looks good is the Iron Cross brand. They run about $1,500 and that doesn't come with lights or a wench. These are proving difficult to find at a descent price. Does anyone have a suggestion on manufacturer to look at or is my best bet having one stamped out at a machine shop? Thanks in advance for any advice. Also if anyone is selling a used one I'm a buyer.

What do you mean front end? Are you looking for a bumper replacement?


Fyi -

descent: The act or an instance of descending.
wench: A young woman or girl, especially a peasant girl.

Can't say I have ever dealt with them, but it is true that you get what you pay for

I appreciate all of the responses. I went with a Tough Country Apache front bumber with a wench receiver.
