Bronco heavy duty/winch bumper

Does anyone have a heavy duty winch bumper on their Bronco? I'm thinking of putting one on mine, but I'm not sure what kind I want to go with. The winch is just kind of an extra little toy I don't really need, but here in snow and deer country, I'd like the bumper with some sort of grille guard on it to protect myself in the event I hit a 250# buck so I don't have a whole front end to fix (I know there will still be damage, but hopefully less). Any suggestions? Also if anyone has any thoughts on the winch? It might be helpful in the winters, but I'm just not sure.

I fabbed my own bumpers out of 3" tubing and 5/16 x 6 flat plate Welded in a reciever front and rear, My Warn 9000 is on a cradle that fits into it, and resides in the garage when not needed, less likely to get stolen there, and not gonna have to replace if I slide into something, or the other way around. Would love to have the Mile Marker hydraulic winch, lot easier on the electricals, but that's my opinion. Would post a pic, haven't fingerd that out yet.

The winch is one of the best off-road accesories you'll find. I must say the new Warns aren't good winchs, but they do have a nice bumper, Try getting a Mile Maker or some other nice brand there.

Try ironbull bumpers
I have front and rear...they're tough, fit perfectly to factory bolt on and have better coating than paint or powder coat...

Check out HeftyFabWorks - Custom bumpers, rock sliders and more for your truck or vehicle

I have a Hefty front and a BroncoAir rear and both are great.
