Warn Trans4mer bumper

Hey everybody. So I have been searching the web, 4wheel magazines, and other areas for a beefy winch bumper for my truck. so far, without going to a custom shop, warn is the only company I found so far that makes a bumper that is beefy enough to mount a winch and act as a brush gaurd. Anybody got one of these? here's a link to warn's site :

http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-s...er_mount.shtml

So what do you think?? I priced it out at 4wheel parts in orlando annd it going to cast me about $1000. And I will be installing it. By the way, if anybody knows where I can get a heavy duty rear bumper let me know. Mine is rusting out and I need a new one. So, is this a worthy investment or should I wait and find a custom fab place in new england and get it done there. ( I am moving up to Mass. in a couple of weeks) Any Ideas??? let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Froggy.

That's a cool bumper. never thought about that. The only thing is I don't have a tube bender or acess to and I can't weld so I think it is out of the question.

The Warn setup looks terrible IMO. If you are willing to spend a grand you can have just about anything you want fabbed in terms of a front bumper. Do your homework and find a good fabricator and a good price. Sure it will take some time and effort, but it will be worth it.

Warn is nothing more than an overglorified brushguard.

theres a lot of guys out there who will fabricate you a lot stronger bumper and better looking for less. just look thru the forums.

I almost went the Warn route too... Glad I waited.

Here's mine, a bit heavy with the winch on and I screwed up with the shackle mounts on the bottom but otherwise its bullet proof!
