I used the Trail-gear winch plate has a base for my '81. I think that it is a good product. The reciever mount has come in handy several times as a recovery point since I don't have a winch yet.
pro:
-that testimony on the bumper page about the rollover is pretty impressive.
-reasonable price
-Trail-gear shipping has always been fast, outstanding customer service from my experience
con:
-IMO the stinger angle is a bit too much...
-no light tabs
mine is a bit more subdued:
hey scuba: this was my 2,923 rd post

You may want to check your state laws about blocking the headlights. I am a Trail-Gear dealer and can't sell their bumper in Colorado because the stinger supports block the headlights. Its a 1.75" tube that sits directly in front of each headlight. I can't imagine how much light it blocks, and how much light would reflect back at the driver with a gloss paint on it.
