Default Trail Edition "A" Bar

Does anyone know where I can find one these A bar's? I checked all the usual suspects AB, L8, RN, ... Next on my list to contact is Paul G.

I like the clean look of the 03-04's w/ their updated headlights and I want stay true to the styling by "trying" to add a discreet winch mount to the stock bumper and cap it off w/ the Trail Edition "A" Bar.







It looks like I may have to go this route in order to fit the winch.
I know this guy...

I really like how those keep the factory look. I wanted one when I was deciding on a front bumper but went with the Bortoff, which I thought had the military look. Now I'm working with a local fabricator makes bumpers. Just have to come up with the scratch. The Bortoff despite the past controversy has been a really good bumper.

Do you guys seem to think or know if I would be able to fit a discrete winch with this Bar?

Yes, it is available. You will have to source a Bearmach discrete winch mount or a Terra discrete winch mount.

Terrafirma Discreet Winch Mounts | Bumpers - Winch Bumpers Accessories for Land Rover Vehicles

And then cut out part of the plastic bumper to accommodate the winch mount/winch. Here is an example of a similar process:

For $250 for the used brush guard and another $150+ for the winch plate ... why not spend a few extra $ to get the Terra Firma bumper or the Platinum bumper? Your advantage is you get a heavier duty bumper which is already winch ready. If you are going places which require a winch, there is a strong possibility the plastic winch will get banged up in no time at all.
