So i can have one that is winch ready and not need to buy a winch for a while? R there drain holes in it for the meantime? Also does it look weird without a winch in the meantime?

The Olympic bumpers posted above, and the one I have, have space for a winch but there's no problem without one. Just don't get the winch plate yet and you shouldn't have any problems with drainage, not sure its an issue with one. There's just an empty slot where the fairlead will go but I don't think it looks strange without one.

I run the rugged ridge and also am waiting to buy winch. Water wont collect in the area the winch will be and if you are worried about the looks then install bumper when you get the winch all at once. Trust me though the people that look are the ones that understand and appreciate a work in progress!! My avatar should give you some idea what it looks like without the winch.

I liked the PSC bumper until I saw the red JK with the Bushwacker flat fenders...
They look really good together !!!!

RR XHD with no winch for now. Running a RocDogFab Hawse Fairlead liscense bracket to complete the look (for now). When I get a winch, it will be synthetic, and IL requires a front plate. No point in giving the cops a reason to pull me over.

Not to hijack - but how do I get my pics to be bigger and not require a click?
