For those of you with winches.

I am most likely going to treat my self with a winch for a chirstmas this year. Or recieve one. My question is, what kind of bumpers are you guys running? I was thinking about fabing up a stinger for a bit more protection for the ever expensive winch, but im not 100%. Right now ive got a dual tube with a hoop. Pics are apriciated. Thanks.
