Default Reciever Mount Front Bumper Help...

I've been searching and searching for a solid looking front bumper that can accomodate a hitch mounted winch. After several days of searching all I can find are the following front bumpers:

- Body Armor Xtreme (tubular design)
- Olympic front bumper (very basic solid steel square with tubing around it)

I'm wanting something more similar to Expedition One's or LOD's front bumper, but my overriding requirement is having the ability to place my winch on the front or rear receiver mount. Seems to be slim pickings...

Any advice??

You can just mount a Curt Front receiver hitch and use your stock bumper.

Very happy with my Olympic Front Rock Bumper, it contains a very solid 2" hitch, needed for a fishing rod holder. http://www.quadratec.com/products/12006_410X_PG.htm

Not sure what your referring to about it having tubing around it ?
