Bully bar and winch plate questions?

[Robert McCleese]

I was curious, although I am a huge fan of the ADD products, I was wondering if anyone has the bully bar, and winch plate set up and just used the stock bumper? If everything fits, and overall how well it performs. Or if anyone located in central Texas does their own custom fabrication? I would really like to put a front bumper together, but save a few bucks here and there.

I ran an Aries for a while. Here's my thread on what it took to make work: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f11/aries-bull-bar-installed-my-ford-raptor-svt-f150-5345/

Got it for sale if you're interested http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f29/...eady-aries-bull-bar-hacked-up-oem-skid-10851/

That one is very nice, but it blocks the spot for the winch plate cable out spot. I'm so torn, I just wish the bumpers were closer to the prices of jeep gear.

Agreed. An ARB bumper for a Jeep (which is an awesome bumper) is about $700.
