stumbled upon this warn grille guard/winch kit

Trans4mer grille guard. Not sure if this is something new or not but I can't say I've seen it before.
pretty much a grille guard with attachments to add a winch carrier, brush guards, and shiny covers.
http://www.autostyles.com/warnford.htm



TRANS4MER GRILLE GUARD
A. SST Fairlead Cover (sold with SST Carrier Cover)
B. Roller Fairlead
C. SST Stainless Carrier Cover
D. Winch Carrier
E. Winch
F. Light Mounting Bracket
G. Brush Guards (sold in pairs)
H. Trans4mer Grille Guard

Personally I like the grille guard, always liked the old school style guards.

Yes, but if you look at the last picture, i still have the tow hooks

It mounts to the tow hooks and the frame as well, i will keep looking for pics of it though.

It was made for a 4wd truck, and i did it for a 2wd truck, i only had to cut a little off the bumper though, but it worked really well..

$474 from gowarn.com It's a nice piece of gear but not cheap. That's just the base unit.

the place I linked to in the first thread has it for under 350, but it's still a bit pricey. Need to shop around.
