I am now looking for new ideas for a winch bumper for a F450 4 x 4. I will be installing a M1200. Simple or deluxe, they all are good ideas. I can put the ideas together for what I need. Thank you for your pictures and ideas. with this project.

Some nice work in this thread: Show Me Your Winch Bumpers!!!
Here's my contribution: This is how Dodge tucked a Warn 12,000 between the frame rails on the Power Wagon.

I seems the winch on a Dodge Power Wagon is actually a 16,000 lb winch... it's rated at 12,000 due to the mounting system? I'd figure even that has a large safety factor from the factory.
Just my 2 cents...
By the way, I like your air compressor mounting... I've thought about mounting a second battery tray there as well.
Seems like a lot of wasted space.

Can't go wrong w/ ARB. Designed to mount either the Warn M12000, M15000, or the new 16.5Ti.

You can check out Buckstop Bumpers @ buckstop.biz . I have a set on my
2nd Generation Ram and they have worked great.

I've always liked the Warn hidden winch systems for the Ford's. Doesn't add a bunch of weight. Do you need a brush guard as well? Or just the winch mounted?

If you like hitting moose, then this is the bumper for you.
Notice the damage to the bumper? Notice the 15,000lb winch? http://arbusa.com/Testimonials/74.aspx
What year F450 are you looking for a bumper for?
1993 Suzuki Sidekick 4-door
4" lift, air lockers front and rear
Shrockworks winch bar, w/Warn 6K
T-case gears, sliders, rack, etc
and a 97 Lexus LX450, just bought, all stock
I have a 2008 F450 Cab and chassis if that makes a differance.
X 3 or what ever on the ARB.
