Im looking for a winch bumper that will work on a 95/96 Tacoma. I can't seem to find but one and that's a.r.b. surely there are more out there.

do a google search for "tube bumper Toyota" and you will find what you want. Almost every aftermarket bumper will hold a winch so they don't advertise that.

If your thinking about a bumper for this Truck make sure you get the reinforcement for the front of the truck

I have a Smitty Built bumper on my 2000

There are several aftermarket bumpers available for the 1st gen Tacoma. Both plate and tube versions and they all hold a winch for the most part. ARB, Trail Gear, Demello, Addicted Offroad, 4xInnovations, CBI...just to name a few. There's even kits if you can weld but don't want to invest a lot of time designing. Good luck

Before i decided to design & build my own out of new transport truck frame we cut off at work, my preference was Shrockworks, but if you have flares ARB Sahara painted to match would be a perfect choice. I like the winch to be hidden and out of the weather so I tucked it under the bumper, it also now doubles as my plow harness mount, everything just bolts on, its missing the fairlead in the 1st picture, I also relocated the contactor box to the firewall and have the remote inside the cab that reaches the winch for operation. Buying a plate bumper in Canada was near impossible and I don't like the tube bumpers, ARB Sahara was hands down the most reasonable buy.

Well, I'd really like a plate if there is one available. I'd like to keep the factory front bumper if that's an option. I'd like to keep weight to a minimum. I have a home-made bumper now and it's too much weight on the front end.
