PS: Ignore the bug carnage - haven't had a chance to clean up since a loooooong drive to a state park this Sunday

So, did you have to trim the bumper opening where the winch sits at or did you have to trim the part of the frame plate that the bolts that attach the D-Rings and the bumper to the frame go into? If I understand it correctly, you had to trim that part of the frame that's visible on the driver side by the opening - correct?

I just put my XHD on last month , according to the directions, yes I read them, the only trimming that may need to be done is if your elec disconnect motor is in the way, mine wasn't also note in other posters pic 8 holes one offset 4 are for Superwinches.

All the new RR XHD bumpers should already have the notch trimmed out for the electronic disconnect. Mine was already trimmed when I got it.

Default Update

And to update this post, the new XHD Bumper DOES in fact accept the Superwinch with NO trimming needed. Slid right in with plenty of room to spare. Updated pictures:

Nice setup! I have the same bumper but I am on the fence about the stinger the way it bolts in. Does it feel pretty sturdy with it bolted on?

Absolutely! This thing will not budge. Of course, if you are worried about the bolts, you can bolt it in, then have a local welding shop weld it up for you too. But trust me, the 16 bolts that hold this thing on are solid! I'd always wanted the LoD Stinger but couldn't justify the price; thought of the OR-Fab but didn't want to have to choose between a winch bumper or fog lamps. So, this was the next best option, and so far, I have no regrets!
