Picked up the angle iron I needed today from a friend. I plan to start doing that mod tomorrow. I will get everything cut and drilled tomorrow, but it will take a day to get it all painted and reinstalled. I might have some pictures in the rough........pre paint up Tuesday. If not done by then it will be next week. My brother and I are taking off on our Harley's for a little 3 day run of riding and camping on Wednesday.

Well I am done with the bumper. I used textured paint to paint the angle iron I used to make the XHD bar mounts with. I have two 3/8" #8 grade bolts in each mount attaching it to the winch plate. I used 4 #5 grade bolts on each end to attach the XHD bar. Rugged Ridge Manufacturer Part Number: 11540.14

This is not the mbrp light bar, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't use it as well. The only thing is the mbrp bar doesn't seem wide enough to mount with a winch, that is the reason I used the Rugged Ridge bar.
I hope this helps those of you that want to add the bar. It was fun making this work. Nothing hard about.....if you have the right tools.
