i have seen a few rigs with ARB bumpers and various winches. I am thinking about a Metal Tech tube bumper with small stinger and an Engo E10000S winch. Any experience or thoughts on either? Thanks all.

Looks good, if it is this:

But they only show for a 60 and I have an 80 series

Sorry, I did'nt pick that up initially. You would be suprised what he can whip up - just gotta ask if you dont see it. HTH.
My favorite bumper in terms of looks is the AOE bumper.

In terms of a low profile front bumper the new 4x4 labs front bumper is the bees knees.

(fyi luke at 4x4 labs is extremely slow about updating his website, he makes a ton of products that he hasn't put on the site yet, this front bumper being one of them, but he does make them and ships them in a kit. Have a HAMOM put it together, the price really can't be beat)
That's both on them on Jose's rig so you get to see what they look like on the same vehicle.

The engo gets good reviews and I believe Rymer has one on the way For preferring plate styles I like the MT tube bumper with the small stinger. It held up better than I expected in an accident for one of the UC members too. Light and effective with good clearance.... All good in my book
If I ran one I'd be tempted to fill in the lower areas with some aluminum skin or the like

It is. Just had a group buy but don't you need an 80 first. Or is there anything you wanna share?
And for what it's worth that Luke's bumper above has been modified from Luke's original form. Not a lot but noticeable.

Yep sure is.... Luke makes all kinds of things that he doesn't advertise, like front bumpers and sliders
Jose does all kinds of customization to anything he puts on. You can see his full build here

I like the AOE and the new high approach 4x4 labs bumper but I LOVE the binksfab bumper.
I will be attempting to make this at home.
Speaking of winches, I've done a lot of research and will be purchasing a Smittybilt X20 10K. It's waterproof, 6.6HP, synthetic line, and 6+ ft/min at 10K. The price is more than I want to pay but it always is.
