Default MBPR Light bar

I like the looks of the MBPR light bar - any reviews/opinions. I was thinking a stubby conversion, winch in the bumper and light bar. Is there any vendors we have that sell MBPR products that help with pricing.

Thanks
Pat

Default I have it and like it..

I originally used it in conjunction with a stubby bumper. After replacing the bumper, I kept the bar and welded it to my winch plate.

I got mine from Amazon because I have a Prime membership (free two day shipping), but I don't think the price was any lower than most vendors.

Can you mount two lights on it with the winch still installed

With the 2013 your gunna need to get the vacuum pump relocation kit. Id get the rugged ridge kit if you dont have any pneumatic tools. The one that MBRP sells is really good just a PITO to put on. The bar itself is really sturdy and you can always mount the lights up insted of inside the bar to fit the winch. I doubt you could fit it but they make some really thin winches now-a-days

I had this set up for two year before upgrade to a real bumper. I got mine from Dave at northridge4x4 for a good price. It the best set up for a stock bumper IMO

Thanks, I have an LED light bar that I'm wondering if it will fit.
