Default warn bumper

I have a friend that has that bumper. we though the price on that plate was ridiculois. so a guy that we know made a plate for him. it came aut to prob. 50 bucks. its just a cut piece of metal. may be you can find a shop to make one for you.

Default winch.

Where you just asking about a cheap winch? try tabor brand is made by warn and it fits exactly where a warn would. I have one and actually the instructions are as if it was a warn. (everything looks the same as a warn)

do a search for TEEJ, he's done the breakdown on the winches about 100 times. All good stuff as to line speed vs. cool down time and even an occasional amp calc or two.
