Default Front Light / Winch bar Fabrication

Looking for someone that does custom fab to make a light bar/winch bar for me. Something like the one in the picture.

If you are in western Washington, try Badland Bumpers.

Any reason you want to do that over a full bumper replacement?

I'm in Longview wa, and I dont really like what the whole bumper replacement looks like. I also want to be able to use my winch on the rear as well.

I don't understand your use the winch in the rear statement. Do you mean you want to be able to change where your winch is mounted?

Just keep in mind there's more function to a bumper replacement (approach angle, protection etc) that you wont get with just a light bar.

I believe he wants to use the winch that fits into a trailer hitch mount. The example bumper he posted, has a hitch mount in it.



I agree about a full bumper providing more utility than just winch and light mounting points.

Yes he is correct, I want to be able to use the tow hitch in the rear for my winch as well. I don't really do that aggresave of 4x4ing, mainly just playing in the snow and hunting.

Yep, check out Badland Bumpers. He (Jeff) is building me a custom rear bumper next weekend. He will need your truck since he builds them on the vehicle.
