On a more serious note.....


I know that Warn makes a "hidden mount" but not sure how it would interact with your step/brush guard.

They alslo make a front receiver mount, requires drilling, but you could use a removeable winch. Again, not sure how it would fit with that Rhino.

But maybe something along those lines.

I've been thinking about it myself. I may remove that skid plate on my bull nose bar to allow a hidden winch mount, or at least the receiver mount.

I gotta figure it out.. My next two mods now are 12K Warn Winch and the ARM Powersteps... Those nerf's aren't gonna last with my big hyde climbing up and down.. I think the passenger is broke now.. I torque it down and it still bows down some..

The Warn hidden winch mount moves your front bumper forward a few inches. Depending on how the GoRhino bar mounts, you may still be able to use it if you fabricate mount extensions.

What's the p/n for that wench??

Im looking to mount an Warn Winch to my 2005 SD too, I have a stainless Smittybilt front grill guard and dont think I should mount a winch to that.
Reunel makes a nice front bumper but $4500 for stainless without the winch thats going to have to wait for a long while

You might check with Throttle Down Kustoms. I saw his stuff at the local outdoor show last month and he does awesome work. The website must be having problems, not everything is in the right place, so you might give him a call

I had an ARB bumper on my old Toyota... loved it. Very sturdy, and saved the front end from getting caved in on more than one occasion (including from some dough-head backing into it with his Yukon at a gas station - smashed his tailgate and tail light haha). I'm thinking I might get their "deluxe winch bull bar" for the Superduty when the time comes. You can get the "fleet" version which looks identical to the regular version but is less fancy, ie. the welds aren't cleaned up, but it's cheaper than the regular consumer version. Depends what you use your truck for I guess. Here's a pic from their site. http://arbusa.com/

Yes, you can phone ARB USA at (425) 264 1391. I think the distributor is in Seattle. I bought the Toyota bar at my local 4x4 shop; most places can get them. Anxiously awaiting the day I can afford one for the Superduty.

I know what I'm getting.. The Sahara Bar... 1076.00 shipped to my door Now a question of what color should I pain the bumper part? I got the Black Body with that Gray bottom.. Hmm.. Probably Gray that matches the bottom part? Or Just jet black?
