Jim, Try www.oxlite.com. They make a heavy duty square tube winch mount bumper. I have the Polaris double tube bumpers on my quad front and rear, along with a Warn 2000 lb. winch up front. They look good and give good protection. Also check the Dennis Kirk catalog. -Glen

It's my wife's.(wink,wink). I like it alot. it's also the best buy out there for a 4x4. It's agile and easy steering and has a pretty good ride. Do you like yours?

Glen, how do you like that 60" plow? I got the 48" polaris plow. I thought that the 60" would push the front over when plowing heavy snow when angled. I've encountered some of that with my 48".

Rammer, The Moose plow is awsome. It rolls snow and throws it to the side perfectly. The only thing that's a little weak are the plow skids. They are basically threaded rod welded to a round skid that screws into the bottom of the plow. One broke off. I had a guy at work weld both for me. Evidently the welds on the skids didn't have very good penetration. Other than that excellent product. What kind of Ram truck do have? I have a '98 2500 Cummins (12 valve) Quad Cab lifted with 36" TSL Super Swampers. Pulls my trailer like it's not even there. -Glen

My plow has the same kind of skids on it. Haven't broke any yet. I got a 95 regular cab 4x4 SLT. 318 auto and 3.55 gears. It pulls my trailer like its loaded with lead. Next one will be a deisel or at least a 360 with 3.90 gears.

They have some fancy aftermarket winch bumpers.

I broke one of my Moose skids off, too.

thanks for all the info guys I decided to go with the polaris winch bumper seen on Fred King's SP500 in dirtwheels mag. I did'nt think I could get to the free spool on my winch by using the tube bumper from Pol.
