The only downside to this bumper is no lights. Other than that I really like the look that bumper

I'm thinking about one of these... C4x4 He has different options, with or without the bull bar. But, it comes with a winch mount.

Is the small brush bar/light mount an accessory, or does it come with the bumper?

Genuine accessory that seems to fit pretty well and compete the look of the bumper.

I faced the same dilemma.... winch or no winch.

I ended saving up for a custom bumper with winch. You never know when a winch may be needed, especially in the wet and muddy Pacific NW. I figured since getting a heavy duty bumper is already a sunk cost, I might as well go a little extra to design it for a winch. I wanted a custom fab bumper to keep the fog lamps. The fab shop designed the bumper to keep the fog lamp adjustment option, headlamp washers and the washer bottle tucked into the same location. We mounted the winch solenoid neatly under the bumper which is still easy to access. The bumper is designed with the need approach angle which still allow the winch to be easily accessed and removed for maintenance.

I know this may not be what the OP is seeking in terms of his budget. I thought it would be useful reference for others.

For a non winch bumper my money would be on the TJM, that is a good looking bumper.
