i finally spent time in the garage mounting the winch and bumper

Here are some pics

 

Looks great. How long did it take you and how do you like the quality?

 

The quality was good it has a rough paint finish.

I spent about 6 hours mounting the winch and bumper plus cleanup of the garage. Over one hour was in the garage part as I need to set up my portable heater then I had to clean up the mess from everything melting.

The biggest pain was removing the plastic lower cover.

 

Which of the Smittybilt winches did you purchase, and where from. I saw on another post that you also got a lifetime warranty with it for an extra price. I am looking at the XRC10.

 

I have the 8000 lb winch. 4WD is where i got it from you have to ask for the warranty when you order.

My local club gets a 10% discount when you purchase plus a small kickback directly to the club.

I thought about the 10,000 lb one but every time I have been involved with winching they were always 8,000 lb units and always had wire on the spool and there were no problems. So I save the $$ and spent it on the CB.

Cheers

 

that is a good looking set up. Congrats on getting it installed.

 

i like that bumper, where did you get it from?

 

My local dealer ordered it for me. Took all of one day to get and one month to install.

 

I have been looking at that set up for some time but yours is the first i have seen. it looks great.
