Suggestions on front bumpers that also allow for winch mounting

Great job! Hope you don’t mind I copy it “when“ my JTR shows up

Yep no problem at all. Feel free to reach out if you have questions.

I stole the idea from somebody else on here that did this setup as well. Have no clue where that post was though.

There’s also this winch plate for the Plastic bumper, but it looks like it really blocks the front for cooling.

smittybilt bumper and winch.. love the combo only issue is it is very heavy (including winch) I lost maybe 1/4” of lift BUT the bumper is STOUT!!! I feel bad if I ever rear end someone or they backup into me there will be serious damage to their vehicle

@Armyman247
Do your winch power cables butt up right against your grill?
If not I’d like to see how you routed them in a pic whenever you get a chance.
Thanks

Yes they do I was worried about damage but I’ve had it like that for a year and no signs of damage.. if I could do it again I would have put a few spacers on the bumper bolts to move it out a little bit but no biggie

Well that makes me feel better no damage after a year.
