Front bumpers. What are my options?

[R81]

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 link to the armour thread. It lists who makes bumper options.

drool, can't wait for mine. Do you have the filler plates on bottom that cover the washer bottle and stuff?

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:

If light and supporting a winch are the key.. you could install the same as I did...

No, I just rattle canned everything black.

How'd you do it? Details please? Did you fab that up? Or is it a kit?

 

[crashman]

You could always color match it

Yes that stealth behind factory bumper look is slick. Wheres the build thread with how to details.

That looks awesome. Approx price? Can I order the first one? Approx how long until I could have it in my hands?
