warn light bar and winch bumper

[obzidian]

Well, it's about time that i got a bit more serious and add a few things to the h2.

I really want a winch bumper since the enclosed looks is what i'm looking for and i fear some punk or group of punks might "jake" my new winch! I know there are a few other nicely built bumpers, but i really dont see rocky terrain and my budget right now won't allow me to get a monsterous yet awesome h2o bumper!

Also, I want to mount some lights in front of the grill. The warn light bar is cool and would match the winch bumper nicely, however, it states that they are not compatible. I have seen a few pics of both and i don't see how you cannot have the bumper and light bar together.

Phil, I figure you might know about this but, those anyone else know why not or if there is a way to make this work, please chime in.

thanks!

....maybe i'm blind, stupid, or both.... but i don't 'see' anything that might restrict the installation of both products!

i have both, only thing is hood does not open fully. light bar hits bumper, if hood is supposed to open 90 deg, then with both it opens maybe 80 deg.
i have no problems with mine still have plenty of access to under hood area.

ok, that makes some sense.

Do you have any pics? The hood, when fully opened, is about and est. 100* or 95*. So, you loose a bit of hood extension... doesn't seem to be that horrible.

Does the contact between bar and bumper cause any major damage.

thanks mang!!
