Does anyone make an affordable winch bumper anymore? I have checked ebay and craigslist but need to hit the junkyard. I would atleast like a simple push bar for my 93 4runner.

Or a brush guard that accepts a winch like the old Warn Tans4mer. Does anyone make a simple winch bracket that bolt over the factory bumper ?

One can make whatever you desire .

The question is just what do you call affordable ??

Just a guess but I would venture the average is going to be between $600.00 to $1000.00

The more custom it is the more expensive it will be

It is easier to start with the Winch you have and build around that

Will this be a real Winch for recovery or to look impressive on a Tricked out Mall Crawler??

Both are real world applications just the attachment points are quite different.

$300-400 tops but hopefully half of that. I'm not really looking for a full plate or tube bumper unless used and cheap. I would prefer a brush/push bar with a winch plate or even just a sand alone winch mount.

I want a semi capable winch but I will not be mud bogging or rock crawling. This is just a hunting truck. Some of the logging roads to some areas can get pretty rutted or washed out or I may need help pulling a friends 2wd off of a slick spot. Nothing too serious but not a city slicker looking for cool points.

really need to do some research. How you use the rig doesn't change the fact that a winch needs to be mounted solid to frame and capable of support the pulling amount of winch and more. Anything less can lead to damage and injury.

Good luck with that budget !!

You might want to visit all the yards within driving distance and make friends things like bumpers get picked off fast

In your case I would find a local welder draw up what you want built and ask for a price quote .

Or get a front mounted tow hitch installed. then get a removable winch cradle. can be stored in the cab or the back when not in use.

this is what I run. Did re-enforce front cross member. They were a bit cheaper years ago.

I saw that but It doesnt look like it bolts to the tow hook area, just bumper reinforcement. I would like something like this that can go over the factory bumper. I can weld myself.

than grab some steel and go to town

I gotta ask if you can weld why even ask if anyone makes a cheap winch bumper ??

Just make what you want and be done.

adam38654

I can weld but I don't have much in the way of fab equipment. Just a welder. No cutting torch, plasma cutter, band saw,ect. Just a chop saw and angle grinder. A kit to weld up would be nice.

Like i said I was looking to find a simple push bar, brush guard, or winch mount. I don't really want to replace my factory bumper. I want an add-on.

millball

I doubt that anything that would bolt add-on style to the factory bumper mountings would be anywhere near strong enough to be a viable winch mount.

adam38654

Push bars bolt under the frame where the tow hooks are and the old Warne Trans4mer brush guard has a winch mount on it.
