Default cutting the bracket

Whoopee I had a plasma cutter, took longer to plug it in and hook up the air than to make the cut.

For those of you who installed this bumper... One, thanks for the advise. Two, could you please post some picks of the final product? Thanks in advance.

Default plate placement

There are 2 holes predrilled below the fairlead/hawse opening. Not the greatest as it's pretty low and could suffer some damage. I'm still working on a flip up solution that will hide the aformentioned opening. After a bumper and winch purchase I'm looking for an El Cheapo solution.

Default Long Weekend

Installed Elite bumpers and Zeon 8-S winches on a 2012 Wrangler and a 2012 Sahara. Did not find out that the Zeon 8-S are not plug and play until we had both bumpers installed. Spend a lot of time cutting and grinding on my Son's Sahara's front mounting brackets to get enough clearance to mount the Zeon Winch. Done this without removing the bumper. After finishing up his we removed my bumper and cut the front brackets. Much easier. Warn needs to address this.

It states on the directions that with a Warn power plant you need to trim those brackets. Yours looks good
