so now im lookin at a 120 lb bumper and if I choose a smaller winch say 60 lbs more were at 160 more than stock bumper its very nice to show a pic of a sweet bumper then find out you better be up on 37s with a bds lift kit to carry it prob not so nice
My buddy, who owns a shop and does jeep installs, recently installed a brawler and told me it was heavy. After my last jeep, I'm going light weight.

I just wish i would get some type of notification from Northridge 4x4 or LOD when my armor lite mid width w/ bull bar will be shipped to me.I ordered and purchased one a month ago. Done talked to Northridge twice and still no answer.No call back,email or nothing.Quick to take my $475,but no feedback.Are they always this slow w/ responses? Or getting items shipped out? If so,don't think i'm ordering from them again.
