Not sure what the pump is that they put behind the bumper on the new 2012 but it needs to be moved to put a new bumper on. I bought the relocation bracket from LOD and put the mid width bumper on with a Recon winch yesterday. I am not sure if these pictures are on here yet, but thought folks with the 12s would be interested to see what the bracket looks like.

Here is the pump after it is relocated:



I also had to cut the original bracket shorter to fit the winch in (the small arm with the screw post mount from the original location)


Here is the finished product:



I am slowly trying to build my 2012 back up to look like the 2008 that I had before. ACE sliders, LOD front bumper, Recon winch, now I need a rear bumper with carrier, wheels and tires and some skids.

 

Looks great!!! love the LOD mid-width...just wish they made a non winch version :( I am a finished look kind of person and talking the wife into a winch is next to non existent.

 

They will put covers over the winch holes if you call and ask. Maybe worth asking them for pictures. Use the winch once to pull out a car that slides off the road in the snow or move a down tree and your wife will see the value of a winch.

 

very nice, I love that bumper.

 

I know this thread is a couple of months old, but it just saved our tail! Thanks for posting the pics, you rock!

 

It is a vaccum pump

 

Great write up and pics. Too high for my RR bumper that's sitting on the garage floor waiting for the Orfab kit to arrive.
