Default Need help picking out front winch bumper

I need a front bumper. It has to be able to take a winch and must have a place for the factory fog lights and dring attachment spots.
I purchased a Rugged Ridge XHD and installed it over the weekend and did not like the look. So sold it. I really want a Poison Spyder brawler light but it is just a hair over my price range..Need help guys..Post up some ideas

How about getting the PSC unpainted... It was told/advised to me that I wouldn't want it powder coated because after a year of scratching it up on rocks, trees etc.. that I would be just as well off using spray on bedliner. Granted it doesn't look as good as a nice powder coat job, but it doesn't look bad either. And when it gets all f'd up I just clean it and touch it up, and I haven't had to do that yet. If I'm not happy with it next year, I'll take it off and have it coated or bedlined and I'll still be happy that I got what I wanted. I'll try to find a pic


e: pics added. The bumper didn't give me the traction I had hoped for... but it looked good even when i was stuck!

I picked up one of these. I really like it, but I think I'm going to order the tube grill guard to go with it.
