I don't go off-roading a lot. But in case you didn't know, WV has the highest deer strike rate in the country, so I'm getting a stronger bumper for that + looks. So I don't need a winch, anyone have a cool idea of what could go in the hole in the bumper?

More lights, or some kind of device to scare deers away? ;-)

depending on the size of the hole, you could cut it out bigger and put a 10" led light bar in there.

I'd like to put more lights in, but WV's pretty strict when it comes to aux. lighting.... And as for the stinger... I want to add red accents to my jeep, but not in that way.

Use them to mount something else you like to do. I.e. jack, fishing rod holder, axe, toolbox, air compressor, tarps, etc. Use your imagination! Don't be afraid to fabricate! Best of luck!

Put a deer's head mounted their, so they can see what will happen if they jump out in front of you.

I'd agree, more lighting. You don't have to use them while on main roads though if it's going to be a legal issue.

Of more valuable input, how about some deer whistles? Seriously, when I was up in NH I spoke with some guys who swore by them. Worth a shot...
