if you are looking for strength, the runell is the strongest thing i have seen, road armor isnt bad by any means, but the runell is built a little heavier, in either case, i would recomend plating the frame at the mounting holes, otherwise a good pull or push in the correct spot can do some major dammage to the fenders and headlights, i speak from expirence

I added the plates on the side of the frame and used grade 8 bolts lock washers and nuts

When I hit the lotto I will order one from http://www.buckstop.biz/. Good looks and the best prices I found when I looked about a yr ago...

It probably wouldnt even be half the price to make one though lol

Buckstop has been around since I was in high school and saw them on Trucks when Stacy was the host. I think it was TBS network then? A looooong time ago. But then I grew up and puked on the $$$$. lol

+1 lotto!!

I just ordered this one without the brush bar, and a rear one too.

It was about $1,400 for both, they are near Atlanta. Nice folks on the phone, very appreciative for your business.

i built my own grillguard out of 3/8 steel and welded a 1/2 plate to the front frame cross member to bolt the winch to. spent about 180 bucks total and imo its stronger and better than any winch bumper your going to find. id recomend building one your self. http://imgur.com/a/HrKCa#4
