Need front bumper for winch
I am wanting to replace my 2002 stock front bumper with one that will acommodate my smittybilt XRC8 winch and provide more protection off road. I have looked at the ARB's but I really don't like the solid steel plate look, maybe looking for a combo of plate and tube. Also, if I do this, I will have a WAAG brush guard for sale. I am finding that there are not very many options for the 3rd gen runners. Any recommendations for something in the $500 - 1000 range?

Weld a plate onto the brush-guard to mount the winch, I've seen it done on our 4runners. Image attached, Saw that on cars.com a while back.

CBI off road has some fairly good prices and might be willing to do someting for you like what you are asking. There are't many "production" options for our trucks. Also to get a combo tube and plate it will be custom.

That may be a good option. Right now I have it mounted on the upper part of the brush guard, but I used it this weekend and it pulled the top brackets loose, but if it was lower, it would make use of the frame mounts, and work better. Thanks, good advice.
