That looks good.

Hows the powder coat look?
The powder coat on my sliders from them is not great.

Starts at 424$ for just the bumper no other options. No Bull bar no winch tray no lights. Just go on there and figure what you want and add it up.

As far as the powder coat goes it looks great I haven’t noticed any blemishes it looks good. Now I haven’t studied it but I’m happy. Thanks

So on all these how do you get to the handle to go from free spool the winch?

Haha ask your 2 year old to get their hand in there. It’s nearly impossible honestly. Funny story about that hear me out. So after I get everything installed. Which I did multiple things that day to the front. Grille, bumper, fang lights, fog lights, and weece. The only thing that I got to work at first was the Baja fog lights. So I was very disheartened. I spent over 12 hours working on it and didn’t get home from the shop until about one in the morning which I had to work the next day. So the next day after troubleshooting, I figured out everything was installed correctly, but I had no access to the winch to turn on the wireless remote setting. I could not access it easily so I was thinking that I was gonna have to take the whole bumper back off to flip the wireless switch, but I finally figured that I could take off the top, thin black shroud by the radiator and stick my arm down there and flip the switch,after saying all that it is still extremely hard to get to that spot and flip the free spool. I ended up having to take the front off again, so I ended up running the wire for the wired remote and I’m just content with not worrying about the free spool. I did see one guy who installed the same exact winch with a different bumper he had installed a really long ratchet extension that came all the way up to the top of that plastic shroud by the hood latch and so whenever he wanted to free sport, he would use that so he’d hook up his ratchet and just turn it so I was thinking about possibly doing that if I ever took the front back off again. If they ever ship me my alpha Rex headlights. Also food for thought the bumper looks in the front facade. So if you want to add fog lights or head lights after the install the steel bumper has to come out. The winch doesn’t though.
Someone smarter than me might be able to figure out a way to access the free spool easily but I’ll have to wait to see it on you tube

Wh


Why not ?

The bar can be seen a bit from the camera. It’s heavy as heck and decreases front approach angle a bit.

Hard to install on top of all of that. No room to add the clutch to the winch so you’re entirely wireless remote at all times.

I’d swap it for a number of other offerings at this point. If I didn’t get it for basically nothing I wouldn’t be running it, that’s for sure.

I’m considering the Rough country hidden winch. I don’t mind the OEM look but not against changing it either. The Toyota dealership around me is also a RC dealer which has me wanting to just go that route for warranty purposes. Anyway, if you were to pick again what would you recommend?
