I like it, I really dig the tube style look, and for the price, you really can't beat it. I'm not too concerned with a winch, because it's a ways off. This will probably go on my shortlist.

The Jeep has an electric fan, a winch that sits up like that is not going to make it over heat.

I ordered one yesterday. My ramsey 8.5 is really short so i don't think height will be a problem. Besides, you cant beat the price!

I thought about ordering one and was told they were not shipping until fall 08. Any truth to that?

They told me i should receive it this week. They said that there were plenty in stock. I ordered it in black, hopefully it will look good with the silver. I'll post pics if i can figure out how...

I've always liked the looks of them. When I had my TJ I thought about putting one on that.

I like this bar... good cost, and looks like it means business.

I wonder how heavy it is, and how difficult it is to install

i agree with most that it is personal as to looks. that is a good price. does it include the plate that you mount the winch to or do you have to buy one like you had to do with the tj's. my only two concerns on winch height is that the higher the winch the higher the center of gravity, and also the temperature concern. as mentioned before most are not haveing a problem with it, because of the electric fan..just my opinion... if you like it buy it
