Default New Bumpers, Snorkel, and Winch Installed....also some trail riding

So I went Down to PA to put on my new river raider bumpers, snorkel and gorilla winch this weekend. Friday we spent the majority of the day installing the bumpers snorkel and winch, followed by a short night ride.

saturday we met up early to go wheeling. The access road alone to where we went was pretty cool, and there were some insane lil obstacles and some very steep/rocky hills...i got a few pictures

i got a chance to use the winch when i got hung up on a big rock, and it worked very nicely, but i did find that the bolt holding the cable to the spool was absent, so i took the cable off and will deal with that tomorrow.

here are some pictures.

~700, then a lil more if you add hi-lift mount, but not much more.

I was looking at their website, it looks like a really good product. I might change my mind for the rear bumper!!! How was the install? any problem? does it come powder coat?

i got the gatorhyde finish but you can get it powder coated- the install went very well, although i did do it with the owner haha...I know he was saying he does not like shipping it powder coated because they (carrier) will often bang it up in transit....But i was suprised how perfect it fits...with the hi-lift jack and everything i was wondering if there would be any rattling but there is nothing...very good design.
