thinking about getting a brush grill guard like the predator series or a whole new front bumper...both would be nice but money hasn't started to grow on trees down here... ...when it does blossom I would like to throw a winch on as well...I hear that Harbor freight has some decent ones for the money... pro's or cons as to the brush guard or whole new front bumper??? I would lean towards the Warn series...Thanks for any input

 

Predator Search & Rescue brushguard with a Thorparts front bumper.






Harbor freight uses various offshore manufacturers for their winches. Some are better than others but you never know exactly what you're getting.
If you are looking for a lower cost decent winch, look at Smittybilt or Superwinch

 

Thanks!

 

will an after market front bumper cause any problems with airbag sensors???

 

Nope. They are not in the bumper.

 

Thanks! just saw one that said it was airbag friendly...didn't know if this was as issue with some others...

 

The only full replacement bumper for the H3/H3T that is certified as airbag sensor complaint is the ARB that I know of. Good looking bumpers but expensive. I lucked out and recently acquired a very gently used one. Haven't installed it yet.

We have had BA bumpers and haven't been in a front end accident where the sensors would have been triggered so I can't comment on those working with the sensors.

Depending on your driving environment you may want a full bumper replacement with a full brushguard as part of the bumper. Deer can ruin a front end of a rig with just a brushguard.

Full bumpers still being made for the H3/H3T:
