Dan figured you'd be all over cutting the pieces yourself with that new plasma.




I might yet depending on the quote.

I saw one of these on a friends toyota and it really looks like it would protect very well, hold a winch high up, and not look like something off a tank.




The only problem is that it's too high. My winch would reach the hood line mounted up that high. I'd prefer to keep it lower and closer to the frame. Where it is now splits the difference between "on" the bumper, and too low to where approach angle really suffers.

I like the frontrange bumper though. It's similar to the Hanson bumpers that I really like as well:


Only problem with this is the bumper on the Amigo sits pretty high on the front end and the grill is relatively short. A winch sitting on a bumper like this would completey cover the grill.


I played with photochop a little bit to try and get a feel for how it'll look. I do need to put in some turn signals and maybe some rock lights as well.
