Nope. Break out the welder and get creative.

durapu is selling the one he made, which is pretty nice. Or his whole truck.

Too True .. I am willing to sell just the bumper - I live in NC - not sure what shipping would be like

DONT BUY THAT WINCHER BUMPER - I did and it was a Waste of money ... I got the bumper in and it wouldnt even fit the truck. mounts were off center and too low so it would hit the fender/headlights/grill before lining up to the holes. It was completely hollow with the mountings only held on by one 3/16x4 plate, no cross bracing, no real support .. I had to gut it and Mod it just to get it to bolt in place, welds were crap and sloppy and cuts uneven .. we basically used it as a outer template .. but with all the time extra money and Work that went into it we could have built it cheaper and better. glad I didnt have to pay a Shop to Fix & Install it (combined my buddy and I put in about 15hrs+ to get it like it is now including paint)



Forgot to mention ... it took them over 6 months to ship it too me, 3 months longer than they promised, with me calling once a month after the first 3 (and then to still get it SO wrong!!!)

That is an awesome bumper that you're selling. I hope someone local picks it up from you.

And maybe put your review in the Wincher thread, you might save someone from a letdown.
