When these bumpers were everywhere, i don’t know if it was a kit or home built but, many people around here had the wings converted into a box. The lid was on a piano hinge and the box held their winch gear, chains, straps, remote, etc.

A lot of neat ones at www.movebumpers.com just in case the link above doesn’t work.

I almost bought one for my truck but I’m hung up on finding a Warn bumper.

For now I’m still running the original front bumper along with a cactus smasher which I do like very much!
