So I just bought a used warn 9.5 Thermometric for $450 and I was wondering what winch plates I can use that retain the stock bumper without cutting it up?

Thanks

 

Rough Country makes one...

I like mine

 

allright so it's $239 plus $23 off for our 10% discount....Thats not so bad Ive seen some mounts as high as $309...and I was starting to get worried...is there any other alternative...Such as a cheap rock bumper or something with a winch mount?

Thanks for the Picture I think Ill prolly go this route...you dont have to cut holes in the stocker bumper do you? BTW love those tires...wish i had a set

 

Expedition one's Basic bumper is dirt cheap

dang I like that too....hmm...this is getting tricky...Im not sure which way to go now...I was trying to budget this out because Id like to get some Crager Soft 8's and 305 70 R17 Mud Tires which are not cheap

 

any more pics?

 

Now Im really gonna confuse you

Front Bumper comparison

 

Want more confusion????If you had some welding skills or know someone you could build a bumper with a winch plate. If you kept it really simple it might be cheaper than buying the winch plate. Some friends on mine helped me weld this one. Cost about $120 in steel. I know it is missing the winch. That should be fixed in the next few weeks.
