Custom built, and they will be for sale too.
I am in cahoots with a local fabricator and we have designed and are now building winch bumpers, they are going to look good, be affordable and durable and accept most winches.
Just pulled my bumper off this morning to make a template.
Rear bumpers, rock sliders and skid plates to follow.
DI's are the first roll out, DII's to follow.
With shipping to the lower 48 we are looking at the $500 price range, local pickup will lower the price.
However the actual price is to be determined.
Shipping out of the lower 48 and to other countries will cost extra.
Yes I will ship outside of the US.
The very first one should be finished in a week or two, once it is done I need to get shipping quotes so it will not be installed straight away.
Since I have been looking for winch bumpers from day one I have found 2 types, cheap and ugly or out of reach for the average person.
We are looking to fill that gap.
this some sort of job security? you are going to route shipping of all these massive bumpers thru your route. lol.
LOL, no.
But being wiling to ship overseas is huge, in the UK for example you cannot buy a steel brush guard, winch bumper etc. because of pedestrian laws.
You can only get plastic ones, apparently pedestrians in the UK like to step into oncoming traffic and the steel brush guards kill them quicker than a plastic one, I would think the 6,000 lbs SUV crushing your skull would do the trick but they outlawed aftermarket steel bumpers.
You can build your own, you can buy one and have it shipped to you, but you cannot go to the local off road accessory shop and buy one.

i have been there 5 times and every time i went i stepped into traffic. not use to looking the opposite way we do in the states. they also had padding on lightpoles in certain parts of london from people txt'n and walking into them.
as much as i would love to get a front winch bumper i need a rear bumper first to replace the one i destroyed in our last outing.
