Default Modified Shrockworks Stubby

I really like the Schrockworks Stubby bumper so I decided to pull the trigger. Called Eric at Screamin' Lizard and he went out of his way to get it to me ASAP. It was only after it arrived that I realized that the fairlead opening was offset from center for the Warn Power Plant. Since I have a MileMarker Hydraulic this posed a problem. I cut out the original opening, welded in a new plate and cut out the new "centered" fairlead opening.

What do ya think?

Thanks. It obviously took a little extra time, but I think it was worth it.

I had to keep flipping my open ended wrench to get the lights tight.

Which finish is that on the bumper? Looks like line-x or similar.

Glad you are happy with it. The winch fairlead hole and mounting is offset for most all winches, not just the power plant. The motor side of the winch is *almost* always longer than the clutch side.

I completely understand the thought process for the offsetting the fairlead, it just wasn't ideal for my set up. So rather than settle for a lesser bumper, I made it fit. Also thought it might give others in a similar situation some options.

Well, good job, if they didn't design it I don't think many would notice.
