Time to start saving for a winch!!!

Have any of you guys ever heard of a 3/4 view? I know it is a front bumper, but could you get a picture that is NOT from dead front? like an angle so you can see the side? (a 3/4 view)?

The D-ring thing sucks (lack of) as mentioned above...but this is my first pick for sub-$300 bumpers.

One more thing... Are there any plans to do a mid-size one that is between full and stubby? these are some of the nicer tubes I have seen, but the pics so far aren't doing it for me

No mid width at this time.... When the JK first came out there was this mad rush to try and get everything that the TJ had to market for the JK. Tube bumpers were one of these products. We worked hard to have our tubes mount more flush with the frame and added the fog light mounts but as you all know the tube bumpers have not been the biggest sellers.

To try and make up some of the original tooling cost the stubby winch version was pitched.... Figured what the hell, what we got to loose.

Here are a couple of extra shoots for you guys.

I like the idea of it. I think that if the horizontal tubes bent around and ended behind the grille and parallel with the frame rail it would have a better more finished look.

I know this isn't good for business, but it's also a great template for the DIY'ers.
