A Story of Indecision and Frivolous Spending

Yes. I had to enlarge the 4-holes on the winch fairlead mount, and the bumper itself, where the winch mounts too.

I bolted the bumper and hoop onto the Jeep first, then I bolted the winch fairlead mount on to the bumper next. This held the bumper in place while I enlarged the 4 winch mounting holes.

It worked out great, because the winch went on without a fuss afterwards.

These photos were taken before I bolted everything up.

I just want to say that I am damn impressed with this bumper. Not only is it nearly weightless, but the craftsmanship and fit on this thing are absolutely superb.

I think that’ll look better than the JCR, damn, I think I do like that winch guard

I really, really like the look of it too. I also got the recovery hooks with it, as well as the light tabs. I'll probably get another pair of Vision X lights like I sold you to mount to it.

They fit well hah I just painted my light tabs and hooks this past weekend :).

I’ll wait to see it PCd and then decide if I buy that winch mount hah.

That's a damned good looking bumper. For the first time, I have bumper envy. I may have to budget for this next year.
