Default winch bumper

Ok, so TJM is no longer for sale here in the US, besides ARB who else is there?
Links if you got them please.

I can get a non-airbag ARB for $825 plus $160~ for shipping.
I know this has been covered before but I cannot find the thread, imagine that, the search feature not working very well.

Hi Country Off Road (http://www.hicountryoffroad.com/)
Rovertym Engineering (http://www.rovertym.com/)
Trek Outfitters (http://www.trekoutfitters.com/)

Disco Mike will tell you the finish on the Hi Country bumpers isn't great but I've seen them up close and I don't think it's too bad. Why pay more for something pretty that is just going to get beat up off road? I'm thinking of Hi Country bumpers and sliders since I can just drive up to Evergreen and get them rather than having them shipped.

I just saw that Trek Outfitters has moved to Evergreen. Might have to go check them out someday. I do like the looks of their D1 bumper even better than Hi Country.

I am looking for winch bumper Mike, I dont care if it is new or used.
I dont have the money right now but I am getting all of my ducks in a row.
I should have my new computer by the end of the month, then my springs will be next, then the bumper.
So it will be 6 months or so before I am ready to buy it.
If I find a smoking deal on one before I get my computer then I will buy the bumper first.
Thats why I want links, so I can bookmark them and drool.

Thank you AK, and any more imput you have Mike I would appriciate.

I like the Trek Outfitters stuff but man are they pricey!
I dont like the "slim" front bumpers to well.

Spike,
Keep an eye out for them in the scratch and dent areas of the various 4-wheel shops (not just the ones geared to Rover). I have seen various items like bars and sliders over time that are greatly reduced because they have some slight damage. Same type of damage you would see after your first trip with it on the trail...
Cheers!

Spike,
So how about we take some of my front bumper and your ideas and design you on.
