I'm wanting to put a front bumper and winch on my 14DRW.....what are you guys using?......would like a 16K winch and maybe not a huge amount of weight added to the front end

 

wow 16k is a mocho winch.I guess better too much then not enough.I thought a 12k was plenty for our trucks but the price difference is probley marginal to go to the 16.

 

westin is a nice looking option if your looking for a grille guard/ winch mount combo but if your into the hidden winch fusion and fab fours make some really nice bumpers that I'm looking into getting for myself

 

I run an 8K lb winch on a 6K lb vehicle used for rockcrawling. Most will say that I'm underwinched, but I have yet to stall my Warn and if I need more winch, I pull out the pulley and it becomes a 16K winch. The hardest part of winching is sometimes finding enough of an anchor to latch onto.

I think you'd be fine with 12K, but it depends on how stuck you plan on getting.

Do any of you have an Elite bumper?

 

I have a Road Armor with a 12K lb warn winch.

 

I have Buckstop bumpers on each of our trucks. 2001 F150, 2005 Excursion, 2007 F350. 12K winches on the Ex and the F350. They are painted to match the truck paint.

Has anyone tried the new Elite front bumpers yet?
