Talking Calling All Shrockworks Mid-Length Front Bumper Owners With Winches!

Hi, do any of you folks with Shrockworks Mid-Length Front Bumpers have winches? If so, can you tell me what you have installed (and whether it needed any major or minor modifications)?

Do you have any pictures with everything installed?

Por favor? Please?

Default here you go...

Shrockworks mid-width (no bull bar) with a Warn XD9000i. Really happy with the combo. There's a lot of room in there for bigger winches like the powerplant, there just wasn't more room in my wallet...

I have the warn 9.5Ti installed and it fits easily. The back of the bumper is closer to the grill than the winch. Sorry I don’t have any photos but if you want some PM me.

I have a PowerPlant installed on my Shrockworks mid-width. The bumper is literally designed to fit it perfectly, with notches in all the right places to make accessing the controls easy. A couple years back someone wanted some detailed pic's of the install, so here they are again ...

It's a great combo, though expensive. I would point out that I love all of my Shrockworks gear, but they do charge for anything you order up front, they do take a while to deliver (think months), and their delivery estimates are unreliable. Anyone who doesn't have the patience to put up with that should look elsewhere (and please ignore those of us who do have the patience to put up with it--I'd do it all over again, Shrockworks products are that much nicer than the competition).

Red Dog, are you able to remove your grill with the winch still in place like CerOf? I'm looking at the 9.5ti as well and don't know how much bigger it is than the 9000i.

Thanks Ggray, CerOf and Mark. The photos are great. I really appreciate your help.

Man I cannot wait to get my bumper! (And to any trolls reading this, my comment is not meant to start another discussion about the time it takes to get Shrockworks products either)

I have a SW mid width and am very happy with it. Installing a Warn 9000 XDi, was very easy as the winch fit perfectly in the bumper and fasted to all the predrilled holes in the bumper. There are no issues with access to any of the winch controls. I can remove my front grill, even with the winch installed in the bumper. I buy from SW again, just be prepared to wait for your gear as Mark noted above.
