After being talked off the cliff to buy a much less expensive winch plate/winch (I was close, everything was in the shopping cart last night), I think I've narrowed down to the DV8 MTO and the BAFM (either one). I can't tell which one has a better approach angle, they look close. Specs for the BAMF are limited except it has a 1/4" winch plate and its limited to smaller winches like the WARN Evos. DV8 doesn't state much other than up to 12k winches (implying it isn't limited to Evos) and that it weighs 99lbs.

Has anyone selected one over the other and why? I'm skipping the bull bar so that isn't important to me. Planning to pair with a Warn EVO. Kinda leaning to toward the DV8.

DV8 on the left, BAMF on the right.

Does the DV8 work with the factory front skid plate if you have the Mod bumper?
It is compatible with Factory Plastic and Metal Skid Plates!

I've purchased DV8 front bumper, back bumper, light rails, etc. I called them and they gave me great advice and service. Things shipped quickly and most of the stuff was in stock. So I don't know Bamf, but will say that if the product is equal... the service from DV8 is great.

I went with the BAMF...not a huge fan of most others, too large & bulky for my liking. The BAMF repairable coating is also pretty cool. Last, but certainly not least, BAMF built here in the good ole USA.

I have a full plate BAMF bumper on order. I've seen their stuff in person and the quality is top notch.

Go with the BAMF. The coating is reparable if it gets dinged up. The normal powder coating on others fades to grey after a year and you can't fix it when it gets scraped up. The BAMF bumper is high and tight too. I need to get down to thier shop and get mine picked up, its been sitting there for over a month already. AND mad in the USA!
