Hey guys,

I've bought the Smittybilt XRC MOD Bumper system for my 2013 JK. While installing the winch (Warrior Samurai with synth. line) I've found out that the gap for the winchrope in the bumper is much smaller than the gap in the hawse fairlead that came with the winch. I've bought an other fairlead, but the hole for the rope is even bigger than in the first one.



Are Smittybuilt fairleads made to fit the gap in the bumper or do I have to do some fabrication on the bumper on my own?

 

My Smittybilt XRC MOD bumper and Smittybilt hawse fairlead match up perfect.

 

Sorry not the best pic. But mine sits flush.

 

so I won't have to destroy the powder coating, good to hear. I'll simply buy a Smittybilt fairlead. Thanks a lot

 

Yeah mine sits flush

 

This is exactly the fairlead i mounted yesterday, fitting my bumper perfectly. Thanks a lot!





The next thing to do is to fabricate a new flip up license plate mount
