Okay, after digesting the outstanding advice I received on this thread and after spending the last week reviewing the many winch bumper options, I'm likin' the Buckstop Baja HD winch bumper the best. It's made in the USA in their Central Oregon plant, it's heavy duty, it has a winch compartment access door on top, and it includes a 2" receiver. The only negative with Buckstop is their cost, it's more than I wanted to spend originally, but it really has the strength, look, and features I'm looking for. Your thoughts would be appreciated before I pull the trigger.
