You can get an inexpensive bumper on Extreme Terrain.com for $299 wall metal and winch ready. I purchased one and love it. You can add your factory fog lights to that bumper.

You get what you pay for with a cheap bumper. It might look ok, but I wouldn't expect it to hold up in a collision or for recovery.
Agreed…I paid a good chunk for my LoD bumper (looks very similar to that) and it’s a beast! On the flip side I bought some sub $120 metal fenders (smittybilt) and less than 6 months in they started to rust…now I get to pull them off, strip them, clean them, paint them. I still like the style but what a PITA. Also have a set of moderately priced rock rails…they have absolutely saved my rig…but I absolutely have to buy new ones because … like you said… you get what you pay for.

I haven't seen that one up close.

My thought is, if you're going to go cheap, go cheap on the winch. Buy a good quality bumper that with hold up to serious abuse off road. I'd hate to have a recovery point come off or other severe damage when putting it to use.

Scratch that thought if you are only buying for that off road look, then get what look you like.
