Default Winch Bumper Options

Here's what I'm looking for - a winch bumper for the JK that lets the winch sit "down" between the frame rails, doesn't have a top hoop and retains the factory fog lights (maybe moves them out on the other side of the frame??). Does anything like this exist - everything I've seen when I searched here either has a huge top hoop and/or no fog lights. I'm just looking for a clean low-profile way to mount up the winch from my YJ that the wife won't object to on the "new jeep"

Also - a way to integrate a tow bar mount into it would be a huge bonus (to flat tow the wrangler)

Check out the Bumper comparison I think the LoD winch bumper is what you are lookin for though.

It all depends on what width of bumper you want. I just ordered one this morning and went with a LOD signature shorty with skid plate for a number of reasons, design, low mount winch, factory fogs, price!! They are excellent to deal and they had no problem removing light tabs from the hoop. I am pretty sure they would build one for you without the hoop! Do a search for the LOD Signature Series Bumper Install from VBS4, this is an outstanding post and will let you have a good look at this bumper.
