Got the winch mounted up today but not wired. Was hell trying to get the front two bolts in with this bumper. There is barely any room in there plus cant see to line anything up but i got it. I plan to do a review on the winch on here since i hardly see anyone talking about it. Just a few threads here and there. will snap a pic of it all finished up tomorrow and plan to finish up front bumpstops.

Also i had a club member give me a hella offroad light. Its such good shape i think im going to just buy another and mount them on the pre runner bar. It looks to be a hella 500ff but im not sure how to tell the difference if its a driving light or fog light.

 

I think the fog lights have a pattern in the glass and the driving lights are clear. My Hella's are driving lights and the glass is smooth on both sides.

 

The one i have looks exactly like this but the pics for the fogs on most sites look the same.

 

Not 100% sure, but I think that's the fog light.

 

Well i found the fogs with a different pic on amazon. This pic shows a different piece in the center.

 

Hm. Let me go outside and look at mine. See if I can tell any difference.

 

sick build man! do you recommend the synthetic line for the winch or is the steel one good to?

 

Grabbed the Canon and went to look at mine. Took me a moment to remember how to take photos of a highly reflective surface at night using a flash. Our Hella's are supposed to be the Driving Lights. This is what ours look like. The pattern you see is NOT in the glass, it's in the reflector in the back of the light. The glass is smooth.
The first one you posted looks like the same thing. The bulb itself looks different in the fog light photo you posted. I might be wrong about the glass thing on the fog lights. I thought they had a pattern.

 

Yep same ones! Thanks buddy you saved me some headache. Think i will order another one and mount them on the front unless there is somewhere local to buy them as a single and not a kit. I only see the kit on 4wparts site.

 

IIRC, Autozone had singles for sale a while back. This would allow you to look at them to verify that they match. Hell, I'd still go and open a boxed set just to check that you've nailed down what style it is.

Bought our first and second set at Autozone, the second ones in 2010, so they should still have them.

 

Hmm will drop by the zone then and see what they got

 

Got the winch finished up and respooled the cable.Ran the wiring along the frame rail then straight up to the battery. Zip tied everything in stable so it doesnt move.This winch is a very nice and smooth running winch. Plan to post a review thread on it sometime in the future. Now my bumper is almost complete.Ordered another hella 500ff series driving light today to match the other that was given to me. So i will have some decent lighting for some night runs and country backroads now. Plus man did it look good with me just mocking it up with the one light on the pre runner bar.






Also finished up installing my front bumpstops. Pretty much i just drilled a 3/8 hole through the bottom coil bucket when i had installed the lift. After measuring everything on the rti ramp i was able to figure out how much i needed. Used hockey pucks which are solid rubber and exactly 1" thick. Drilled a hole through the center and ran a bolt through them. I needed 3" in the front and rear to make everythign stuff perfect. The front will stuff to the point of rubbing but the bumptop will keep it from wedging itself farther in the fender and haulting forward movement.

 

How'd you get them to stay in the front?

 

He drilled a hole in the center of them and ran a bolt through.

 

having that winch bolted on the bumper now really sets it off man it looks really good
