WTD: Winch Bumper

Looking to outfit my 96 D90 with winch this fall/winter -

Let me know what you have - Located in Connecticut.

Thanks in advance!

Since you live in CT I’ll recommend something that is galvanized then powder coated.

I second the SD bumper. I fit one to a 90 I just wrapped up. nice and basic with a good build/finish.

The "SD" bumper was an option I was considering - I was hoping to keep my brush guard if possible, the mounting points are just above the frame rails. "Looks" to be compatible.

If you want a bumper and Brush guard consider one piece designs. This is a highly sought after Rockware bumper (probbably will go quickly). The Brush guard you show is a showpiece only, and is known as a damage multiplier, as it tends to bend back and cause damage to multiple additional panels in even a small bump, something to keep in mind..

"Show piece" - I agree @LRNAD90 - The truck will be seeing some time in the woods of NE, so something more stout is needed.

At $900 for this used one I might as well go with an ARB ?

If you like it, but the Rockware bumper is much more highly regraded, and much rarer to see. I'd say it is probbably stronger, and definitely has better clearance, but that is not to say ARB doesn't make a good product, they are just a bit too 'large' and give up too much approach angle for my taste..

The SD is compatible with a brushguard FYI, photo below

FYI - nothing stronger than the Rockware

That's compatible based on my experience. There are some BG's designed to bolt on deeper winch bumpers.
