smitty built. I don't know that they are very strong. Have one made like this:

I drew it, but haven't made it yet, and I'm going to sell my mini to fund this LC project.

Smittybuilt tube bumpers are pretty strong, broke a 40,000 pound strap trying to yank my pickup(old) out of a mudhole, and it was attached to the smittybuilt, but other than that I don't reallly know.

ya, im building this mini for my uncle, he's into the smitty built
There are a bunch of mini truck speciallty folks out in CA. Marlin Crawler sellls slick looking tube bumpers as does All Pro (though I've seen the All Pro one in person and would spend my money else where.) According to his website, Luke Porter at 4x4 Labs is working on bumpers for 1st and 2nd gen trucks. Then, there is also Badland Bumpers in WA. And there are also ARB and TJM versions for the minis. I'm sure there are more.

That's good to know. I assumed by the wall thickness of the tube that they would give easy.

ya, looking at the smittybilt it looks like the winch isnt protected at all? is this just the way the picture looks or is it true?
didn't have a winch on mine hence the strap, but I have seen some(maybe custom) that mounted the winch behind the bumper to the frame rail and welded the rollers to the front. the winch cable came out bettween the two bottom tubes. Maybe a PITA, but looked clean and got the winch out of the way
