So... I finally got around to mounting the winch (XRC8). Thought I would post a pic to show you the finished product.

Really nice fab job. And SUPER clean. I like it! Especially because NO ONE else will have it. I love the "more stock look" myself but I'm not a fabricator like that. I don't weld. So I'll probably go the Detours route which is almost the same look.

That bumper looks so perfect and clean, you almost don't want to offroad with it. Notice I said almost.

This bumper is is beyond awesome. I love how you kept the end caps. And the fab work is sick, I would have thought you bought that from somewhere. Nice work

Thank you. I love the Cooper stt's. Best tire I've had yet (except for the old style MTR's)!

Looks great, I love it. That's the way Jeep should have made it. A lot of people don't realize it's harder to adapt to the existing bumper than build an entire new one. A+ for creativity and workmanship.
