Recently I got my hands on a xrc8 winch for free so it was time to build a new bumper to mount it on. I wasn't a fan of the extreme winch we sell so i decided to talk with max and we came up with this.







and all painted up


I'm going to repaint the winch before it gets tossed on as it could use the love!
