Being that there are a ton of jeeps and toyotas out there that wouldn't mind an 8K winch....it's just a matter of finding the right venue for it to sell or even partial trade+cash.

Default Warn Winch

Well almost ready to mount the bumper. I need to first see if the 8,000 lb winch is going to fit. If it does i will will look for an 12,000lb. winch to replace the 8000 lb.

Also am looking to see what lights will fit in the 4"light holes. there are four of them.. The bumper states PIAA 510, but those are over $200 a pair, so brainstorming alternatives for the lights as of now.

thanks for the suggestions!!

Default Fitment issues with winch need to move AC Radiator

well i have painted the bumper with bedliner and removed old factory bumper. Now it looks like there may be about an inch or inch and a half that I will need to fit my winch clutch **** where the air coolant radiator in front of the actual radiator is to get the bumper to fit right. Does anyone know if I can move this or if so, how, so that I can get the winch to fit.

Thanks, Greg

I have not seen anyone move their radiator unless it was a vehicle that became heavily modified. Just a few connections to be mindful of.

How about removing the winch, then mounting the bumper and show a picture of that clearance?

Also a picture of the winch plate within the bumper.

Use an offsite image website like photobucket.com to upload photos. Then get the URL for each image file pasted here. Makes for better and larger images.

Default bumper on

Well I got the bumper on with some small mods and I had to shift the warn winch handle up by loosening allen bolts and turning the handle housing counter-clockwise and tightening back up.
No big deal really..the bumper in front is Black, so now i am wondering if i should go Black on the rear bumper, on a white truck

will get picks up ASAP!

Thnx all

Got the bumper on. Now trying to get opinions if I should go white on the bumper, or keep it black and go with a black grill and black rear bumper.
