Question Smittybilt SRC Front Bumper

I recently ordered this bumper and was curious if any body has this bumper?
How does it mount?
How long does it take to remove front bumper and how?
Without a winch to fill winch mount, any ideas to use that space for until I buy a winch?

Thanks,

Factory bumper is a cake walk just undo the 8 nutts/bolts on the backside and remove the bumper. Now on the SRC the only drilling you will have to do is on the bottom I only did two holes and thats it the rest bolts right up were the fact holes are.

I did it without drilling, but a couple of the holes on the bottom were tough to bolt up. Other than that no problem.

I've got one on mine. Easy install. Just bolts in place of the factory bumper. When you do get a winch, take it back off, install the winch then reinstall the bumper. I didn't........and while it's possible to put the winch on with the bumper installed, it's not fun.

I got the bumper almost a year ago. Didn't have to do any drilling. Only had to file some of the holes just because they weren't spaced out enough to the holes of the frame. And there are already some spots to toss on some lights. I put two KC Hilites on, and just used the exisiting cables from my foglights. Just spliced some cables and its perfect. No need to add anything to the dash. I think its an awesome bumper. Planning on getting the XRC rear now!
