Westin or Warn Trans4mer Brush Guard

Found out today from my work that we are getting a bonus within the next few weeks. I have been looking into getting a brush guard for my 06 access cab TRD OR. I don't have the need to go with a full plate bumper just wanting a brush guard I can put a winch in later on down the road. My truck is daily driver and also use it in hunting season. Ive narrowed down to either the Westin Sportsman Winch Mount Grille Guard or the Warn Trans4mer. Im leaning more toward the Westin. Any photos or experience with either would great. I am currently waiting for my 5100s to arrive, will be setting them at 1.75. I have the non tsb rear leaf.

just my opinion but i would not go with the westin they r not very sturdy i dont know much about the warn
i have a ranch hand brushguard it does not have a winch plate but it has 4 mounting locations and extra support bars very sturdy and weighs bout 65-75 lbs
i would try to see which one has the most mounting points because it will be more durable
the westin only has 2

 

Have you checked out the Hidden Winch or US Offroad winch mounting system?

 

I've never seen anything by westin that was worth spending $ on. It's all flimsy crap.

 

Thanks I will take a look into the Ranch Hand and the hidden winch and Us off road products as well.
