    Excluding the US Off Road bumper/winch mount, what's the smallest form-factor front winch bumper out there for a second gen? I don't need a top hoop(s), just looking for the bumper only.
    Thanks!

    You have probably found the best looking, small, winch bumper....

    We have a lot of deer around here and Im looking for a little more protection across the front than the US Off Road bumper.

    Ahhh. So you are looking for protection.... Have you looked at cattle guards? Like the Ranch Hand cattle guards?

    Edit: not looking for hoops....

    You can get the steel bumpers without hoops...

    I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but Dezert Toy Fab makes a prerunner styled front bumper thats "stealth" mounted. If you look at TYPE C is goes from end to end with only the center being exposed and the rest of the tubing hidden behind the factory bumper. As for a winch, I don't see an option to add a winch mount but maybe he can make one for you that does have a winch mount and a plate across the front.

    Thanks for the idea! I do need a winch mount on it as well. I'll keep up the search.
