Default Stubby Bumper

Anyone have suggestions on stubby Bumpers? I would like one where a winch would sit in.

I'm afraid the way you asked about stubby bumpers, is like walking into Starbucks (not that I ever would - true Canadian, Tim Hortons or nothing) and asking for a coffee. There are dozens of different companies out there making them in just a many styles, or you can even purchase the parts to transform your stock one into a stubby with a winch (as I am doing). My suggestion would be to flip through the catalogs til you see one that strikes your fancy and then repose your question to the forum as "Is there anybody out there running a (insert name and model here)? Then who ever replies will be able to give you the full scoop. How well its made, how hard to install, etc.
Hope this helps the search for the answers your looking for.

I like the dagger and mauler series. Do you have experience with these?

I have the Crusader stubby. My winch is half sunk. I'm very impressed with it. Everything lined up perfectly. They come bare so you can finish however you wish although I believe they may offer PC now.

I'm a big fan of JCR as well. Hard to beat 100% American made beef

That said, as mentioned there are tons of good options out there...beauty is in the eye of the beholder..

If you got time, Shrockworks in Houston. You can go pick it up once it is done, paint it whatever color you want and it's rock solid.

It will take about 6months to get it, they fab to order and are slow, but it's solid American made.Click image for larger version

I am running the Dagger and am very happy with it. The only complaint is that it looks very bare with no winch right now, but that is nothing to do with the bumper. Easy to install, bolted right up. I was so happy, I now have the rear Dagger on order.
