If you don't want an ARB or whatnot... I would consider finding a way to put a receiver hitch on the front, up high. Then you can use the removable type tray with what ever winch you buy. I like that method. You can see them on the warn website.

The selection is limited out there for different styles and looks. The main (cheap IMHO) is ARB but personally I think that they are ugly and don't complement the lines of the vehicle. There are others from SOR and some more stuff available through the forum in the States. If all that fails you can look at custom.
Hopefully soon I'll have the press I need to be able to do that at a reasonable price.

you see I am opposite in thoughts... I like the ARB lines on a 60. I think they are good looking. Not sure if I like the "new" design ARB for the 60, but the old one I do like.

I like the protection from animals that it will give to the passengers. I feel they are pretty solid too.

Mat's bumper is also very sweet. I have only seen it in pictures, but think it is a nice design.

but it's your vehicle and you get to decorate any way you wish
