Does anyone live in a snow belt with off-road front bumpers that can comment?

We are also in Michigan! You can always go with something like our Blitz Bumper that only replaces the center section to give you recovery points and a winch but leaves the outer portions of your factory bumper. I have a full Strike bumper on my 4Runner and haven't had any issues in the winter but I would definitely recommend fluid film either way. It's a good idea to clean the frame/suspension/skids every year before winter, paint if needed and then coat with fluid film.
