Sorry guys! I will take and post pics tomorrow. The ones I took didn't turn out great b/c I lost the day light and barely took any as I went b/c I was too occupied w/ trying to finish the job haha. But yes, I'm happy with it and can't wait to start upgrading the rest of this beast.

From what I've been reading about the crush cans, some people say they're important, others say they're just there as a 5mph bumper. Either way I'm not too worried and YES I did heed the warnings haha thanks again for all the info.

As far as weight goes, the warn m8000 winch weighed around 85 lbs (if I'm remembering what the package said right) The bumper had to have been around 40lbs + so yeah the front is dipping a little bit, but my driveway is a little slanted.

I didn't mount the skid plate yet, looking to do that on Monday.

 

Oh yeah, can you guys post pics of your prerunner guards and stingers. I'm debating between the two or I might just get a bull bar. I look at the front of my jeep and feel like it's missing something..

 

We sure like ours.And yes mount the winch to the bumper first,then get a hand to mount the bumper on the Jeep.

 

That bumper combo looks great I think I actually want this bumper now, I like the way the winch loop looks it doesn't stick out as far as I thought it did.

 

Nice. Just paint your jeep red and that's what mine looks like.

And that's exactly how I mounted my winch selanoid too. It's funny b/c the metal wire rope was hitting the bolts of the selanoid mount, so it started sparking when I was testing it out. My morale was killed when I saw the sparks b/c I thought I was gonna have to uninstall the damn thing again and order a new winch. But then my friend took a closer look and saw that it wasn't anything electrical

 

As promised here are the pictures (finally).

I scratched the grill when I was trying to get one of those stupis plastic retainers off of the front bumper..

 

You can see how the front is a little lowered b/c of the extra weight.

Edit: I'm also not a fan of how the red and black wires were run. I might end up redoing them to give it a cleaner look, but they are out of the way and there's no wear marks from the bumper or grille.

 

Here's mine! Easy install, once the stock is removed...

 

Nice! How do you like the lockable side caps? Are they waterproof?

 

Yes, they have a really good seal that compresses well. They surprisingly fit a lot of gear, more than I expected.
