out of all the companys to buy from which one looks the best and would allow a whinch to be put on to i have an 01 ext cab 4x4

 

Actually most (probably all) straight foward brushguards you can't mount a winch too. You need to get a winch mounting system, which usually is the whole bumper. These winch mount bumbers usually have grill and headlight guards attached to them, thus why they look like a brushguard.

But regular straight foward brushguards you cannot mount a winch too. Look at my avatar pic, I have a Westin 1-Piece on there, can't put a winch on it
