Installed. Great product. Bolted right on with no modifications except one hole for the outside frame hole was slightly off but was easy to file out. Looking for a a winch now. Thinking the smittybilt xrc 9500 with synthetic line. This beer is heavy. My shipping label said 120 lbs. I think this bumper is around 90lbs. Anyone know for sure?

Bumper looks great! Waiting til my winch gets here so I can install both at the same time.

I called Smittybilt a couple of weeks ago about the rear bumper. The rep I talked to said it was at least 120 days out before the Gen2 hits the market.

Will you post a picture from the top view to see what it looks like without winch installed? Thanks.

Hopefully the cutout for the fog lights are for 4" fog's . I have the XRC Mod. full. The full came with fog lights that are cheap(had to replace the h3 bulb because of the cheap housing). I know the reason why it came with fogs now. I went to purchase some upgraded fog lights and realized the cut out is for 3" (non-standard) lights.
Anyone know of an upgraded D.O.T fog light that is 3"? (Please reply if you know of one. (Smittybilt vendors...feel free to chime in.)). JW Speaker will not fit. LED KC's will not fit. (The list goes on).

I do like the look of the Gen.II. Great purchase!

Painted the pump black as was suggested earlier in the thread. Also did the coolant line not in the picture. Any suggestions on lights and what location. There are to holes on top inside of bar and then the light tabs on top of the bar. I was thinking led cube flood lights for the lower area and a 9-10in spot led bar for the light tabs. Any suggestions? I also like the Amber bulb look over white.

The bumper comes with brackets for aftermarket lights, hope this helps. They fit stock fogs with a little wiggle room and the lenses stick out a little.
