    Would you remove the front frame support for a better WINCH bumper?

    New thread created with updated poll.


    Would you remove the front frame support for a better WINCH bumper?

    1) yes I would cut that piece, and I plan on installing an aftermarket steel bumper someday.
    2) yes I would cut that piece, but I don't plan on changing my bumpers.
    3) No I would not cut that piece, but I would like a steel replacement winch bumper
    4) No I would not cut that piece, but I would like a steel replacement non-winch bumper (steamline bumper)
    5) No I would not cut that piece, but I don't plan on changing my bumpers on this vehicle.

    Here is where I am at today WITHOUT removing the cross-member:





    Here are some photos of another builders over-lay which shows where I would remove the item and drop the winch in that space with plenty of support to be as strong or stronger than stock:
