When I looked at it there were holes in the factory center rail but for whatever reason Smittybilt decided not to line the bumper holes up with them. I'll save it for a rainy day.

You haven't got to the hardest part of the install yet which is the four bottom holes (the part you opted not to do). It's almost impossible to get those installed correctly.
The other part of the install that is a pain is mounting the winch. The holes in the front are too small for most hands. Luckily my wife could squeeze hers in there, so have someone with hands small enough to fit in the holes available. They should have opened up the holes another .5".

It would be easiest to take the bumper back off before ya put the bottom bolts in and get a few buddies with strong backs then mount the winch with the bumper off heave ho!!!!!!!

I just finshed installing m8000 on that bumber. It takes 8" ext. and a 9/16 swivel/socket combo (not seprate parts all one part) turn real easy tell it treads its the perfect angle. Took me a sec. to figure it out on my rubi

This was very helpful as I just installed the SRC classic on mine not more than 4 days ago. I was worried about the fog lights because I heard they can trip an error code. But i guess HID is the way to go if i want to use the original factory fog set up. Awesome rig by the way!
