I really like the Warn winch bumper - but O don't really need a winch. Is there anything that looks like the Warn bumper that is winch optional??

I wamt the protection and the aux lighting capability.

Thanks.

I don't have the answer, but any idea if I can add a front winch without having to replace the bumper?

I'm short on the budget required to buy a bumper.

I have seen a pic of a winch in a stock bumper, but I wouldn't recommend it. They most likely build a bracket that just fit behind the plastic bumper. If you are wheeling hard enough to need a winch, you should get rid of that plastic junk for a real bumper, anyway.
In the meantime, just get yourself a strap, and a come-along. Make sure you get the right kind of strap. Not one of those Wallmart ones with a hook on it. It should be rated for about 10 000lbs. The come-alongs are about 14 bux on sale for a 2.5 tonn.

Check out allprooffroad.com , they have a cool front bumper with or without winch mount/opening, as well as a rear bumper and rock sliders with rear kick-outs. I will be adding their bumpers to my ride shortly. Stay tuned for pics.
