Default Grille Gaurds/Bull bars

I am trying to find a bull bar that can accept a winch and off road lights. Ive looked on JC whitney, google, talked to my mechanic, even asked a guy at a car audio shop. No one can seem to find one that can accept both its either one or none. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also i am looking for a bar to mount lights on the roof. Ive found universal sliding ones but they usually have a lot of plastic on them.

If you can't find one, it might be better to get the one with the winch mount and then add on tabs for lights at a later date.

I remembered from the past that someone had posted up something about heavy duty bumpers so I went searching and found this :: Tactical Armor Group :: Store. As it turns out it was wlorton who posted it. Good luck.

I think they are all the same. I had to cut to fit. I'll take more detailed pics if needed.

If you could please, especially where it mounts at the door opening. Thank you. Also, did you have to get the gutterless attachment parts.

Tactial Armor bumper seem too aggresive, misewell get some heavy duty steel and make your own grill/bumper

I would suggest that you get the gutterless mounts unless you would like to do it like this.

When I got the bar I didn't know about the gutterless mounts so my dad said "We will just cut slots into the roof." I had some silicon here but as you can see by the orange around the edges it was far from perfect.
The gutterless mounts look like they would fit well, the only thing you would have to do is separate the rubber weather-stripping for the arms to get to the ridge underneath.

It's hard to tell, but there is a ridge here under the flakey orange silicon.
