Nope it is standard as I have a sj 410 and the grill is made of metal unlike urs but some people do put my front end on the 413 or the samurai as my grill looks better

If you can weld why not design your own bumper? Way cheaper...
If it ticks over...leave it

Iv got a rhinorays winch bumper on mine. It is extremely solid, but the down side of this, it's also extremely heavy.

They are indestructible though! I've crash tested my off road armoury style one and its definitely solid!

Ive got the standard, not winch but have mounted a winch on it and it stood up to sliding down rocks on the outer tubes. I was upside down at the time :oops:
