Which (winch) Bumper

[flyin6]

I'm about to purchase a winch bumper. I have it down to two options. I like the DRTY bumper, but it is not available. The tough country is over-priced in my opinion at around $2,400
So it's between the H2O or Road armor. Either would add around 150 pounds not counting the winch (ouch) and each costs around $1600. Both are beefy and would do a great job and either would mount a T-Max winch which I already own.
The Road Armor is in first place, partially because I see them being used on the battlefield with success. I actually saw a F250 blown apart by toyota loaded with explosives (VBIED) The explosion stripped away the right front suspension, fender, hood, and part of the engine. Believe it or not, that Road Armor bumper wasn't even deformed!!!!!!!!!!
It had gouges from flying shrapnel, but was not bent up. The Toyota's engine was laying hundreds of feet away to give an idea of the power of that blast. So, I know those things are strong!
Additionally, in Baghdad, we use those bumpers on Chevy Suburbans to push BMW's and other cars out of the way on highways by ramming them. Those bumpers just keep on ticking.
So weigh in and let me know pros and cons!!!

The dude driving in Door #2 pretty much looks like a trail master-wheeler.



H2O - NO QUESTION.
