I am interested in having a removable winch or the winch set lower to give more air flow over the radiator. I like the look of your bumper and I am in need of getting a new winch bumper to fix my air flow issues. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

1. Here's a pic of my old ARB bumper. Why? well, it has the license plate and lights in front of the radiator... never had cooling issues even with the bigger motor. So, I don't believe that where you have the winch mounted that it would have any affect on cooling issues at all. The bumper and placement of the winch look great.
2. The weight of the bumper will be a consideration for some. Especially those with the stock 20yr oldish springs up front.
3. Have you strength tested the tow points on the bumper or like the old warm ads, pulled your ZJ vertically off the ground to see if "it'll hold?"
I'm sure the guys would really like to see that...it'd be a great selling point as well.
Firstly, nice avatar. Secondly, the bumper offers 2 light mount provisions on the top next to the headlights. We also offer a fairlead light bracket for regular lights and also our 10" led light bar. Also our current DIY tubework options for Prerunner and Hoop-forward include 2 light tabs.
That thing is freaking sick! Post some more pics when you get a chance (side views, etc). Have you come up with a price yet? Also, are there only specific winches that will work with it or is it pretty universal?
Wrapping up the assembly instructions, it will have more pictures of the construction and mounts. This might make it online today, Monday at the latest!
Kinda like the stock tow hooks attach? I just got confused because in the picture that shows the back of the bumper its bare.
