Bumper up or down?

Well I just about got all the bumper parts painted and ready to go back on. (Still gotta locate some pieces of frame for the extention) I think I'm gonna mount it in the winch position, which made me think, why do they mount it with the narrow part up on non winch trucks? It's obvious why it's the way it is on a winch truck, but why didn't they mount them all the same? Is it just so when you stood on it, it would be the same height all the way across, or is there another reason?

More protection for the radiator, plus it levels out the front bumper so if you're standing on it to work on the engine, there isn't a sudden drop off.

Those jokester engineers. The reason they did it was to perplex a bunch of circus clowns in an MV blog 60 years into the future. They succeeded.

C'mon guys, the bumpers are mounted the way they are so we can spot the winch trucks more easily on GL.
