Shrockworks Front Stubby Anthracite Metallic Bumper + winch installed
So, I ordered my front & rear stubby bumpers nearly 7 months ago, and F-I-N-A-L-L-Y, my front stubby bumper arrived 
(at least it is something . . . still waiting on the rear + tire carrier 
).
For little more than 15 months, I ran around with the stock bumper hanging out at the front of the JK.
Once I knew the front stubby bumper was going to arrive, I took the stock unit off.
For about half a day, I drove around like this.
Finally got the old bumper off for good.
Bumper package:
Fairlead -- Shrockworks
Skid Plate
Front Stubby “Anthracite Metallic”
Winch Plate:
Little Helper:

Wiring
New Fog Lights: PIAA 510 Plasma Ion Yellow (the PIAA fog lights work with the original stock fog light switch)
Side view of Fog Lights
Test fitting winch
Fairlead installed
Winch mounting holes drilled because the Superwinch EPi9.0’s external brake makes it too wide for the mounting holes provided.
Winch mounted – pre-wiring
Synthetic line installed
Now, just waiting on the arrival of the rear stubby bumper with tire carrier

How long did the whole install take?

Only a couple of hours, but I did spread it over two days because I had to go to the hardware store at one point to get longer bolts for mounting the winch. The front mounting bolts for the winch needs to pass through 3 steel plates (the bumper, the winch pate, and the skid pate) on this Shrockworks bumper (I don't think Superwinch anticipated that).
