Has anyone installed the new Warn Elite bumper on a 2012 yet? I'm looking for feedback on how the install went and how they like it. I know it weighs 101 lbs with the guard so I am also looking for some feedback on sag on a JKU Rubicon. And if the vacuum pump has to be moved. Thanks

 

i dont know anything about that bumper specifically but i know that when WOL added the pure jeep to his 2012 he had to relocate the pump. With 101 pounds + a winch you are most likely going to see sag. this is easily fixed by a 1 inch puck up from through.

 

I'm already planning on a 1" spacer. Just not sure if this will be enough. Also if I need to plan on relocating the pump or not. Then I'll have to find a new bracket as well.

 

Well, I've found out that the vacuum pump needs to be relocated on the Warn. But according to the installation instructions it doesn't look too bad.

I have a synthetic winch, does anyone know how a hawse fairlead work with this bumper?

 

Anyone installed one of these yet? I'm looking for some feedback and maybe some pictures besides the ones on the Warn website. Thanks
