Light weight winch bumper options

Hey guys,

I'm Looking for some light weight front winch bumper options, and by light weight, I mean 100lbs-ish. Why? Because 2.7. Also, I don't want to spend much more than what I can get for the 175lb ARB that is currently on my truck. Is this impossible? Maybe, we'll see.

-Anything aluminum is out of the question because of price.
-Most plate bumpers are out of the question because of weight.
-So that leaves tube bumpers that accommodate winches, and hybrid bumpers.

So far have found the trail gear rock defense bumper at 110lbs but its kinda ugly, and the DV8 plate bumper which I like, but is a bit heavy at 140lbs. I could cut off the grill guard hoop and cut maybe 10-15lbs.

Suggestions?

 

This is what I put on my truck.

Brute force hybrid and synthetic winch and you’re gonna be close, probably ~120lbs

Banned camp... How nice.

 

Welp, so much for the new member warm welcome! What the heck?

 

US Offroad gets my vote! Weighs like ~65 pounds plus winch and stuff. Super stout, and has taken some lumps on the front of my truck. I think @EatSomeTacos has one for sale still.

 

You got banned? Right of the bat huh.. what did you do?

 

BST as usual

 

Judging by how my original post has been edited, I think it was because I casually mentioned that I would be selling an ARB bumper. I was not aware that was a no-no(I don't think it is according to the terms of service). I think a that politely making me aware of my mistake rather that banning me would have been a much better solution. Kinda rude... Anyway, I dig that stealthy little US offload bumper, seems very practical. I however don't have the factory bumper cover and I kinda want the more aggressive look of a full bumper. Starting to wonder if its worth all that hassle to save 40-ish lbs.

 

It is likely not worth the effort. I assume you're running synthetic line on the winch...if not, there is the weight savings you are looking for.

 

Thats sweet

 

R there any bumpers out there like the Hooke front bumper that weighs like 75 pounds, and that cheap. I would get Hooke if it was built better

 

I’m going for a prerunner look but want it to be light as possible
