Default Fabtech Winch Bumper $360 Like it?

Anybody have this? The price is right, I like the skid and the fact that it sits high so it would hide a body lift if I ever did.

Looks ok for the price....However I prefer my winch to sit down into the bumper, not on top of it how this one looks like. I dont like how the winch sitting on top of the bumper blocks the air flow in the radiator, especially with that huge Powerplant winch shown in the picture. In the end....who cares what the hell other people say...if you like it, buy it.

I will buy it if I like it. I am more concerned with finding people with it already installed to see more photos of it. just thought I'd add a poll to get a general consensus

I don't hate it, but I don't like it. Like some others have mentioned...I like my winch to sit down between the frame rails.

Really don't like the looks. But that is the great thing, there are jeep parts for every taste.

Don't hate it, but I'm not a fan of the tube style bumpers. Decently priced though.
