I run the Teraflex winch bumper and I thinks its great for these three reasons:
1) it is extremely light and keeps the weight to minimum on the front end.
2) the bumper is short in length, it only reaches the very edges of each side of the front grill which gives it great entry angles for crawling because there is nothing infront of the tire.
3) the winch mounts between the frame rails as opposed to above the frame rails. I run the Warn Powerplant and its tall, so with the Teraflex it sits low in the bumper. I live in Arizona and need all the air flow I can get going thru the grill in the summer time.

I dislike the bumper for this reason:
1) there were no predrilled hole for lights, I drilled holes for my lights. Normally I would not care, but because the bumper is so short, I placed the lights where my turn signals were still completely visible to oncoming traffic (it's my daily driver). Finding the happy medium for the light placement was tough because the drilled holes align directly above the frame rail. A pain in the ass to tighten, not much room to work.

My apologies, I don't have a better picture of the bumper for you.

Any extra shots of the construction and how it mounts? Do the D-Rings come through the bumper from a substantial mounting plate? Also how tight was that winch? Did you have to trim the bumper to fit?

Looks awesome by the way!

It bolts to the frame in the front in the stock locations. D-Rings come through the bumper, they are mounted to a large plate that bolts to the frame. Winch fit in easy, just had to trim a little to get my remote plug in mounted in there.
