Not sure that I will be SERIOUS off-roading/ rock climbing soon. Have a DD and need better bumpers, but want something that will last me for a while and not break the bank.

opinions on:

OR-Fab Front Offset Winch Bumper

also do they make a bumper/ tire carrier combo or is it seperate?

OR-Fab has great stuff at great prices. Still waiting for the money to put there stuff on. But have seen it in person and their stuff is impressive. They have a rear tire/jerry can holder that is seperate from the bumper. Look up there web site and you can see their products a lot better. Like I said as soon as I have the extra cash thats who I am going with! Good Luck

They do not have a bumper tire carrier combo. Their tire carrier is a seperate unit that leaves you the option of choosing a bumper that you desire. It's well built and worth the $ IMO.

Echoing the opinions already posted - OR-Fab makes a phenomenal product at a great price! They do not have a combo rear bumper/tire carrier however. I have their Spare Tire Carrier w/Jerry Cans and had my doubts before I ordered them. Now, months later, it is still sturdy as the day I put it on . Awesome product, great bunch of people to deal with.

In specific, the "Offset Winch" bumper I believe is designed for larger winches - for example, the WARN Powerplant. If you don't foresee yourself doing SERIOUS off-roading, you may want to keep in mind the type of winch you eventually see yourself getting - if you were planning on going with the Powerplant or similar, then the Offset winch bumper is a great choice. If you may want a smaller winch - for example, Smittybilt, Mile Marker, Warn M8000, etc. - they have a "Front Winch" bumper that may be a better choice.
