Front winch bumper or light bar options

[EGroeneveld]

Just got the 2011 3500 last week and starting to look for a front winch bumper or a light bar. Anyone have pictures or experience doing either on a 2011 yet?



I have always added 2 sets of offroad/highbeam lights for highbeams and offroad. This is mainly for getting off the beaten path. I'm not 'rockcrawling' the dually but many times have had to 4wheel it into OHV areas for riding quads, the RZR or my offroad K5 Blazer. The last 3 times riding quads in the Oregon Coastal Mountains I've had to 4 wheel just in the parking lot because of snow.



Still deciding to do a winch or not. My 2005 I wished I had the winch on it twice, both times I had a 20' enclosed trailer hooked up. The Warn 12,000 winch with air compressor is what I'm leaning towards, with a Buckstop bumper. The only thing I don't like is lossing my factory fog lamps for 4'' or 6'' aftermarket ones. Anyone have the Warn mounting system on a 2011 Ram 3500 yet? Also seen some older Buckstop bumpers with lots of rust spots on them around town. Warn really needs to make a 16k winch with air compressor.



If I skip the winch I'll just do a light bar like my 2005 had.



Sorry for the long post, just ramblin and thinkin...

I have an order in for a Buckstop Classic II for my 2011. I'm going to build an engine driven onboard air system using a York 209 pump. I eyeballed things on a friends 2008 and it looks like I can fit it in, not enough room for the York 210.
