LOL
I did a custom bumper for a plumber's work van, complete with 8" vice. That's one bumper I would never want to hit.
What I have pictured in my mind for the truck would be tube style with winch mounted underneath the radiator...hidden from view. Rear bumper would be of the same style, with mounting for a hidden winch under the bed. Both would have a spot between the tubes for the cable and hook. The back would also have brackets to accept a number of items, such as a mounted bench vice for field repairs, as well as mounted generator. Each item would be removeable, but mountable to the bumper through the tubes to welded points.
It's one I've thought about for years, but have yet to create it. It would be one of those things that could easily be adapted for nearly many on-site service industry needs. The end all, be all...so to speak.
