Front Winch bumper with Hitch?

[Stouttrout]

I have been looking at bumper for 3 days now. I would really like to find a front winch bumper with a 2" reciever hitch. It would be nice to have when I go camping. I can attach my little generator to the front of it and take off.

Has anyone seen one of these?

Is it possible to mount something like this to it:

Then remove when not in use?

I really like the protofab style.

Any help or advice sure would be appreciated, Dan

give a call to Terry over at Rigidco.he is willing to work with you to make any bumper he sells custom for what you need.

here is his page

Rigidco

he might be able to make you a cross breed of the two.
one thing i will say is he does take his time .he gets lots of orders and does it all by himself.he is also retired so this is something he does just for us Xj guys.

he is also a few months behind in orders IIRC...

I sent him an email earlier. If he can make it I would wait. I would like to have it March though.

This is a setup that I made using a BPI bumper. I realize that you can't order it like this, but it might give you an idea or something to show rigidco if you're going to have something custom made:

Hey Fatwreck, What winch model is that? did you just bolt it straight to the bumper. I've got the same BPI - the hoop. Do you think there is room for a XD9000i ? looks like you cut the grill.

Thanks

[fatwreck]

Yeah, I cut the grill, but I did it because I wasn't willing to lose any ground clearance or approach angle. The winch is an HS9500, but you could do the exact same thing with a XD9000i.

Fatwreck,

Great website, i learned alot just looking it over. My next big project is going to be an axle swap. I have a set a D44s out of an 86 Waggy. Plan to go with selectable lockers and 4.56 gears. Is this what I need for the front axles? And is this a good price?

[fatwreck]

yeah, that is what you need to put a 44 under your rig. I wouldn't say that that is a great price, but it seems to be on par with what everyone else is selling it for.
