What you are asking for would be plenty easy to do....I'm just not sure if the demand will warrant another bumper or not....how many people ordering a stubby will feel certain they will never get a winch...not sure. With the cover you always have the option in case you change your mind years down the road....or a buddy offers you a winch for $200...or whatever...and I still think it will look very good.

The big holes are for xtra lights. The small holes would have countersunk screws.


Just curious. I have a bumper at the moment, but for people that are like me, that never stop upgrading, I see the cover covers the winch mount, but what about the fairlead hole? Any cover for it? I love your rock sliders by the way (on my list).

What if you are in a state that doesn't require a front plate?

How about a nice black anodized aluminum fairlead....





If we did a winchless bumper, it would probably be the forthcoming Intermediate width one.

Now that's an idea! If I could rig up a small device that could be controlled, in cab, to actually cover specific holes in turn playing the harmonica, then that would be awesome. I could drag a banjo behind me, too.


I was trying to step on any toes, just an honest question.

If you never plan on mounting a winch, why would you want a fairlead?

Just in case. If you never plan on getting one, dont get the winch bumper.

You know, it wasn't for me, someone else had asked and I was just following up.
