Default LoD mid-width

I'm not sure on the exact order date, but it seems like it was just 2 weeks ago I ordered. It was delivered yesterday I am told. I also ordered the signature series sliders from them. Still waiting on them to come in. Doesn't matter cause I'm still not home yet I am getting so anxious. (Shit, I still have to pick the Jeep up before I even think of putting parts on. )

Anyone that has mounted the LoD mid-width, can you mount the winch after install, or do you do it before install? Have the Warn M8000.

you'll need to install the winch during the install. however, with the winch out of the way, it will be a lot easier to install the bumper. so, you can just install what you have now and then pull it off once you get the winch

Well I have both of them waiting to be installed. I just didn't know if it was possible to put the winch on after the bumper install. Figured it would be easier because it would be a little lighter. Just have to get a couple buddies to give me a hand.

you install the winch plate first - it is a separate part. then, you place your winch on the winch plate and install the bumper over eveything. it's really not so bad.

What kind of winch plate needed? I guess I was under the impression that the winch mounted to the bumper.

the winch plate comes with the bumper, it's just a separate piece.
