Dude that Hammer bumper looks awesome!!!
Motobilt Hammer Stubby Bumper with non-recessed winch mounting.
If you like a Stubby style bumper your biggest choice is going to be recessed winch mounting or not, there's pros and cons to either style.
I didn't like how close the back of the winch sat next to the grille with a recessed bumper and that's after adding spacers to push the bumper out some.
So I swapped to the top mounted style, no issues with airflow, and with the strength and quality of the Motobilt part, I don't worry about it being secure/strong enough for mounting my winch. I've pulled cable a couple times once with the old bumper and once with the new, the old bumper let out a large groan when I pulled line, the new one didn't make a sound. I attribute that to how much thicker the steel is on the new vs the old, not the mounting point.

What skid plate is that? I am planning to get the same bumper but not sure what skid plate should I get.I have the FabFours stubby bumper and really like it. I did make some custom light brackets for the fog lights because I was not a big fan of how they mounted inside.
