Subject:Bumpers, Racks and Winches, Oh My!

Good Morning, All.  Noticed my rear bumper (corner) is cracked.  Probably my
kid backed up into something.  Nothing I can't 'fix', but thinking about new
bumpers. Maybe not as big as the bull bars that Miguel has, but something I
can attach a winch to. My 2WD w/185/14 has an affinity of getting stuck
in soft, sandy creek beds when there is nobody around for miles. My best
traveling tool has become my folding trenching tool. Kinda like the air dam
on the front, though. Need some opinions on what to consider when fitting a
bumper to this specific vehicle allowing for install on fog lights. I have
seen some luggage racks on Nissan Exterra that are similar to what I am
looking for.  Also saw one made by Big Country yesterday that would work, I
believe. I also like the Rhino lining on the cladding.  Will be getting
paint  done soon.
Well, that's it. Will await the sage advice that I have come to expext from
this list ;-)
