The issue with that kind of bumper is no spot for fog lights.

Not truely an issue as you could weld on some tabs and replace the fogs with some after market fog lights or what ever type of lights you would want. Using the prerun wires and original switch! Sounds win win to me.

you also have to keep in mind that the radiator is behind and below the bumper line. The new bumper will have to cover it up, with air holes for the rad to cool

Very good point Heckler!

I really want this newly designed bumper if it looks good, but just thought of the wasted cost of just installing fog lights... doh! Can't wait to see it :)

I met with Kyle from Kennesaw Mountain Accessories and he said he can and will build a winch bumper for the Patriot.

He and I are both out of town on vacation the next couple of weeks. When I am back in town the first full week of July (week of 6th) I will be scheduling a time with him to drop my Patriot off with him so he can begin work. From initial measurements it looks like the bumper will need to be extended out 2" or a little more to make room for a winch.

If all goes well, we may have a new winch bumper by the end of July.

not much time tonight, but a more informative update coming soon. Been tough working around schedules so I can arrange to be without my beloved patriot for at least a week while they do their magic. Hard working around the loss of a daily driver vehicle without a rental.

I have their rear bumper and friggin love it. I don't know what they are going for now, but this was the best $600ish bucks I ever spent. I've already had multiple people destroy their own bumpers by backing or rolling into me. Every new paint color that shows up on mine is someone else very bad day! :grin2:
