I was pretty anxious too when he built mine and it took 11 weeks to get it but I assure you it is well worth the wait. The product is extremely well designed and a way better deal than anything on the market.

 

Great looking welds and I love the look of it. Where are you located?

 

I said screw it and ordered my pre runner winch ext sides so I'm gonna be impatiently waiting till I see the UPS guy show up

Can't beat the price

Same set up i have, love it.

 

Couple questions for those who have been using this bumper;

How did you mount your fairlead for your winch? Just buy a winch mount I'm guessing?

And how many bolts are needed to install? And what grade would you recommend?

 

How longs your waiting list?

 

I'll take some pics of my winch set up in a little bit. Most winch platforms have the same mounting feet design, so depending on what you have i would make a similar fairlead mount to mine out of 1/4" or bigger and plate the underside as well. I cut my grille and all so i could push the winch back as far as possible.

I used 12 bolts, 6 per side. Steering box is 7/16 14 4" Grade 8. Same for passenger side except a smaller bolt, like a 2" long one i think. I reused the metric hardware sizes for the 3 original bumper mounts. They're like a M8x1.5 (I think) or longer and then the appropriate size washers and nuts.

Ballistic fab generic winch plate, it's around $50

I got the kit from Leonard and it has G8 hardware. Saves the time to go to hardware store.
