Downside is that it did take 2 weeks just for them to put it into the mail and ship it on the standard service ... bright side is that it was free I suppose

Thanks Chris!
I received and installed the Engo Winch and Paramount Bumper. The Install went very well and was very easy. The only hiccups I had were fighting the stupid plastic screws holding on the stock lower air dam
The only install tips I would give to others getting the same bumper with the bull bar/light bar is to make sure you have Metric Alan wrenches for the bolts that hold the Bar on. The threads were very tight. I used a bolt that was the same size but with a normal head that I could use a socket on and chased the threads (I don't have a thread chaser) After that I applied a small amount of lubrication oil to the bolts. After that I was able to get the bolts in fairly easily. That install was fast and easy! Installed the Fairlead to Bumper, next Winch to bumper, third Bar to bumper (extra hand hold when mounting), last Bumper to JK. In the future I will add some type of Battery Isolator as well as place the solenoid box under the hood and install in cab control. For now its mounted & working great!
Chris, I will be in touch to get the prices on and order end caps. I will also order the winch cover (forgot to order the last time). After installing I think it needs something on the sides to finish them off.

I installed my Engo 10K winch with synthetic line about a year ago and never had the change to used. Last weekend I was at the National Seashore Reserve and drove the entire length of the beach and back (120 miles). I winched out a Toyota Tacoma that was right at the tide line and buried up to the axles, I also winched out a buried Titan with a travle trailer. The Engo winch performed flawless.
