I'm looking for a winch hook stop, the ones on Warn's site are not for trucks/motor vehicles if you look carefully. I even called them to check, they said they didn't make one......
Everything that is two parts has a metal piece inside which will cut through winch stop if given time......
I bought this one from Bulldog, it was supposed to be made out of polypropylene, but it deformed horribly as I installed it by hand. Not polypropylene! Unbelievable! Play dough would work better......
Anyone have a product or suggestion?

Can you post a picture of the full front of your vehicle. I have the exact same bumper and winch on mine. From what I can see in this picture you have a pretty bitchin lighting setup. I have BD lights in the fog light positions that look stupid because they don't fill the space like yours do.

I relocated the winch control box to inside the bumper so I could get all my front sensors/camera working again, I have ACC, PDC, and all the nanny's. I really wanted to keep all the functionality of the options I paid through the butt for. They work flawlessly now.

Thanks everyone.
I bought a Factor 55 hook/guard as two of you suggested.
BTW: odd thing is that when talking to Warn, they did not mention they OWN Factor 55 product line.
Kinda odd IMHO.
Thanks again and be safe-enjoy life & your Bronco!
