Default Does anyone make an aluminum front winch bumper ?

I am going to be looking into a winch bumper in the near future, and was wondering if anyone knew of a manufacturer making an aluminum winch bumper for the jk. Pictures would be great

I would consider one if the weight savings were significant.

I am not sure what it weighs but I am sure it probably is very light compared to a steel bumper. I have the Teraflex rock sliders which are aluminum and only weigh 17lbs, and the factory steps(plastic) weighed 15lbs. The teraflex sliders have been personally tested by me on a couple of occasions and hold up great. To bad Teraflex doesn't make a aluminum bumper or even LOD. I am just trying to shave as much weight as I can.
