I've got one. I had it installed and picked it up yesterday.. Went out mudding today. I like it. Seems to be strong, well made, etc. I had it installed so can't speak as to the install. I also got the powerplant winch.. looks just like that pic's bumper / winch setup.. but I've got a black rubi.

I recommend the bumper.

Is that your black rubie posted on one of the other fourms. S. Florida?

bumper looks great, the powerplant blocks a lot of the radiator!

I'm really betting this is not going to cause any overheating issues. It's offset enough away from the front of the grill that it still gets airflow. Just judging from the same type of obstruction I have had on my front end.

good to hear, i like the options that has.

just curious, anyone worry about someone coming up and wrenching a winch off? or are there some measures that can be taken to avoid it?

Seeing that power plant sitting in place, it does not look like that winch will sit between the frame rails. Bummer

Nice bumper, it's one of the designs I am considering.

Way big... I bet it will bump the engine temp some and it still has the built in mud collectors. Nice tool though.
