Front Bumper no winch

[Bruiser 281]

I’m interested in replacing the front bumper. Has anyone seen a front bumper without a winch plate. I am not interested in adding a winch.

Any of the “top mount” bumpers should look fine. Will just have a few holes on the top winch mounting surface. Could order rubber plugs if they bug you.

Have a look at some of the Aries bumpers.

Typically, the winch plate attaches to the frame, and is separate from the bumper. There is a section of the bumper that can be removed to allow for access to install a winch on the plate.

Bumper design varies with each manufacturer. You will just have to look at what is available and decide what you like best.

Yeah I’ve been surfing the internet high & low but haven’t seen exactly what I have in mind yet.

Go Rhino bumpers ?

Heck, the MOPAR steel bumper has no winch plate and looks great with no winch. Can be run as a stubby, too.
"Winch ready" doesn't necessarily mean it has a winch plate, it may just mean a winch will fit if you install a plate.

Tons of options.

I have a Go Rhino Stubby, they will still have the holes for a fairlead plate and in my opinion, does not look aesthetically pleasing without a winch on it.

I ran this bumper for awhile and it really grew on me. I switched back to my favorite bumper by Poison Spyder.

That's the plastic bumper.
There's really no provisions to bolt anything to the bumper itself with the plastic bumpers.

The MOPAR steel bumper is more like this -

And with the ends -

They look fine with no winch. There's a plate to cover the top opening and the front opening.

RR XOR bumper. Doesn’t have a winch recess, but does have holes to mount on top. I like it

If you do a search, I think a guy here was making a decent looking hole cover for the Rugged Ridge Arcus, which is a budget friendly front bumper.
