Front Mid-Width Bumper
Alright guys and gals, I've been looking for a good mid-width bumper for a while now, but I haven't quite found one that fits exactly what I'm looking for. I would really appreciate it if someone could direct me to one that fits my criteria, or if someone wanted to make some extra money perhaps make one yourself.
What I am looking for:
Mid-Width Front Bumper
- must have 2 shackles (at least the mounting loops)
- must have recessed fog light cut outs (prefer to be near stock location, but not a must; don't want the "driving" style lights)
- must be able to mount a winch INSIDE the bumper (I don't want the winch to be seen except for the fairlead and I don't want it to stick up in front of the grille)
- must have a bull bar (without light mounting brackets)
- must be asthetic and stylish in appearance
What I have:
- 2010 Unlimited Mountain Edition (Rescue Green)
- stock front end (except 3 1/2 lift)
I know I'm being very picky, but don't like to buy anything unless it's exactly what I want.
If someone does wish to make one please pm me your design plan along with an estimated quote for parts/labor/shipping. I prefer to support our sponsors and members here (as I feel we are one big family), and that's why I'm going to give this a shot before I contact the local fab shop. Thanks in advance for your help guys!

This is pretty close, minus fogs in stock location.

I do very much appreciate the quick responses! The LoD does look good and is very close to what I'm looking for, but unfortunately the winch sticks up a bit more than desired. The closest I have found to exactly what I'm looking for is the Poison Spyder: "Brawler Lite". Here is the link for one that the gentleman modified to be almost exactly what I want. While this design is very artistic, it just seems a bit slim. If I were to do something like this, I would add the attachment from Poison Spyder that goes under it and different fog lights. I am, however, looking for one that is a bit more unique.
I know there are some virtuoso welders and engineers amongst our family here and would love to see what they could come up with.

That's cool, man. Ya, the Poison Spyder is sweet, but really a stubby and not a mid (like you had said). And the winch is not inset, but rather sits on top. But they do look way cool, and are much lighter than most.
In the pic of the LOD, that Jeep is running a Power Plant, which is why it sticks up so high. You could run a much smaller profile winch, and even move the control box for a real low pro look.

I hadn't thought of that... with it lower a plate could be made that could be welded on top of it to hide it.. Sounds like it would work. Fog lights would be out a bit more than wanted, but suppose that wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker... Does anyone have this setup already? Also are there any other designs that people have come up with or would this be my best option?
