Hey All...new to the forum. I am stumped and looking for advice. I have a 2011 Pro-4x

I want to mount a winch on the front. However, I don't want or need a giant heavy bumper. I have looked up and down and can't find the right thing. As you know, the stock bumper is like 3 pieces. I'd really like to find a bumper to fit the center portion, and find replacement parts for the other two pieces (with fog lights) to shorten those up to add clearance. I suspect no such thing exists. Any do something similar that can give me advice? I'm willing to do a WIY to ready to go just can't find anything.

Not sure if it is an option, but I remember seeing where someone had a 2" receiver in the lower grill opening mounted to the frame rails. Of course this was quite a few years ago.

Combine that with a winch on a receiver mount, and it might fill your billl

thanks for taking the time to reply. I think i'm looking to do something more aggressive than that, just not the big giant ARB type bumper. I'm thinking now maybe i'll just get the Fab Fours winch mount and custom modify the fog light pieces into what i want. Not sure what else i can do...

totally agree with this saw a titan in Austin had same setup looked horrendus an tacky.

I appreciate the replies. I have seen pics of the Fab Fours on Titans and I don't think they look that bad, but then again we all customize our trucks to our tastes. I have the Fab Fours roof rack loaded with lights on the top...some people love it some hate it. I think it's cool. bed rack for my Smittybuilt tent...some love it some hate it. I think i'll go with this setup...hell if i don't like it I can easily take it off since it won't be welded.

FabFours is a good brand. Take a look at the Iron Cross bumpers also for more options. What winch are you planning to get? I recommend Smittybilt winch since it is heavy-duty and affordable. If money is not a problem, go with a Warn.

I chose to keep the existing bumper and add a winch mount. A hidden winch would be nice but the cost of replacing the entire bumper was prohibitive and at the time none of them looked very good.

I like the ARB front bumper (although it is HUGE) but unfortunately they only list it for 2004-2010 and I need one for my 2015 Pro 4X.

its the same truck, there's nothing different with a 15 than earlier years.

I had a arb on my T it will fit I had an 11 lined up perfect.

The only thing that is different between the trucks is in 2010 and earlier, the frame rail front caps have threaded inserts where the fab fours and most likely the ARB bumper attach to the vehicle.

FabFours Installation for bumper says to:
Install Frame mounts using supplied M10x1.25 Bolts and washers on the end of the frame and OEM Tow Hook Hardware on the bottom of the Frame.

As far as I know, 2010 and on do not have the nuts welded to front of the frame here to accept the M10x1.25 bolts. I was able to thread 1/2" hardware from holes in the frame through these holes using a combination of really long screwdrivers, tig filler wire/clothing hangar wire and braided fishing line. I pulled the bolts through the front and secured the bumper mounts that way. Its a pain and adds to the install time, but works. I would imagine if you did something similar with the ARB you could mount it up, if it installs like the FF.

Also, speaking from experience, full front end/bumper replacements are extremely heavy for this truck. You will feel a difference in handling, especially with a large bumper that sticks way out on the front of the vehicle, like the FabFours. I can't speak experience about the ARB, since I have shallow pockets, but I recall the ARB bumper weighs close to the same as the FabFours style, almost 200 lbs dry without lights, winch and all the other crap that goes on these bumpers. The weight doesn't seem like much, but its all hanging off the front of the truck. You don't notice it until you go over a bump or try to take a corner with speed. IMO, these bumpers are great for heavy trucks, like HD domestics, not the Titan, it looks out of place too. I would try a custom hidden winch type mount, if you can find the space or try something like HRTKD.
