The only thing close is the ARB Rock Bar Bumper but I say go with the olympic smuggler at least thats what I did (with an XRC8 of course).

 

Ok, that bumper builder was cool and the Rugged Ridge just made its way onto my list! Thanks

 

Yeah I guess I could be called experienced on welding. I don't like to buy something if I think I can make my self, plus you can build what you want. If there was enough interest I migh make a few more. It is made out of 3/16" plate steel. A lot of little pieces all welded together. Than I sprayed with some bedliner. It seem to be holding up just fine.

 

no problem

 

Another option would be to buy one of the winch bumpers you like and then have someone make a plate that covers the winch opening or like someone else suggested make a little storage compartment out of the winch opening. If done right it will look good.

 

you think the MOPAR is too thing but yo uare considering rugged ridge

 

I would recommend XHD

 

It's expensive, but you won't regret buying the FabFour. It also won't take the Warn Powerplant winch, but I much prefer a CO2 tank anyway.

 

Installed the AEV on the wifes unlimited. Stamped metal and it retains the crushcans. A plate to cover the winch area is very easy to make or have made.

 

bust out ur welder and make one save some $ for other mods
