Front bumpers. What are my options?
What are my options for a front bumper?
I want something relatively light, but able to support a winch.
All I've seen so far is the ARB.
For a 4th gen 2005.

Rocktek makes a light weight hybrid plate/tube bumper. I have had 6 of them.
I have also had 3 ARB bumpers.
I prefer the 4th gen Rocktek.

Here is a $280 option from CBI. It is a hidden front bumper winch mount. Unless you just like the look and don't mind the additional weight this may be a good option:
