Help me decide.

Want to add a DIY front bumper with a possible winch upgrade later. Need opinions on the hidden winch mounting like the MOVE diy bumper
or like the NWI trail Thanks

 

Bottom, just my opinion.

You going to weld it yourself?​

 

This

 

If you fab the whole thing yourself, you could try and do a hidden winch mount with more styling from the second one.

 

I kinda like the idea of being able to see the winch and access the spool when rolling back up.

 

Yeah gonna weld it out myself should not be to diffcult.

 

So the second one should be a better option for what you want

 

Bottom

 

Leaning towards it also.

 

not a fan of the move bumpers myself. gotta go with bottom photo also

 

Bottom, more clearance, fits the Tacoma better and the winch is accessible from the top to see if your spooling your line right.

 

I've been looking at this myself I'm going with the NWTI bumper with the side braces

Going to weld it myself, it's so cheep I didn't want to pass it up, but I also was looking into kings for the front

 

Bottom, much better clearance.

 

Second, the first is bulky. NWI makes some good stuff and you'll be happ with it.

 

Another vote for the bottom one for me. Top looks too bulky, and bottom offers better clearance, better proportions to the truck, and better access to your winch like you wanted.
