Well, as the article states, the Basic Winch Mount/Bumper is available in a satin black powder coat for $189.95 or in bare steel for only $169.95. The Basic DX Winch Mount Bumper can be bought in a textured black powder coat finish for $289.95 or in bare steel for only $229.95. Seems pretty reasonable to me

Looks good. Price isn't a bargain when you add the skid plate in, but it seems on par with other options. Any provisions for light tabs?

I like the basic bumper alot! I am curious on what mods need to happen for the skid to work without the factory tow hooks as it mentions in a note at the end of the article.

Glad to see another simple, yet functional bumper hit the market. Very nice.

The more expensive one looks nice(since I have the super winch on order..lol) but it still looks like it needs some simple angled endcaps.
For that price, and endcaps that came to the end of the radiator/headlight shroud, I'd be all over it. I might even pay a little more it they offered endcaps for a small additional price.

Maybe I'll look into the price of building some endcaps for it.

I really like that - just what is needed and no more - well done! Like the combo d-rings and hooks. Is there anywhere to mount a couple lights?
