BTW, that is my rig in the picture - and I get compliments on the bumber all the time! (I am not associated with A to Z - besides being a customer)
I went to the site, it says winch mounting plate sold separatly, are you sure its winch ready out of the box?

But, I think you do not need a winch mounting plate to mount a winch to the bumper, I think it has the bolt pattern provided. Though, I am not sure if it provides the fairlead mount/support like a winch plate does, which the winch it mounted behind.

Looking to see some more pictures of the A to Z front bumper

I'm not running this bumper (still under warranty), but when I do all my upgrades a few years down the row, I plan to run this bumper.
Umm.. no.. The antirock sway bar I was looking at actually goes through the tube right behind the bumper. Not the normal sway bar location.

Some bumpers aparently block that tube, and I just was wondering if that one did or not because I like how it looks.

How many bolts mount the bumper to the Jeep?

Could you post some pictures of your front bumper at different angles. ?

Didn't realize the prices of the bumper are so good.
I have the Winch Guard, Not the Stinger - Look at Jerry Bransford's bumper - his is basically the same with the Stinger instead of the winch guard.

It is the 44".
Came with the plate to mount the fairlead.
Not sure how many holes are used for mounting. At least as many as stock - I did not drill any new holes - but I did mount with at least one additional bolt on each side since I am not running the stock anti-swaybar.

Here is the review that Jerry & I did of the bumper:

Here are the pictures I have.

I got them last week and love them. Easy install. Extra lighting. Great Price!!!
