Just so I don't make any wrong assumptions, the Group 31M Battery Tray says it will work on a stock battery as long as you switch out to different length bolts, but will it work on an Odyssey 34r-pc1500t also? I'm using a piece of wood as a spacer right now as it is shorter than a stock battery.

Hope this helps! I had no issues fitting with the 7/8 rack and maxtrax mounted up top. I’m not sure how “standard” the height of a garage is though to be fair.
Now I’m running the lift I have no chance to fit ha

Thanks bro, much appreciated!

Anyone else got the sliders going?! Especially angled! LFD anymore pics / customer rides with them?
Love my LFD rack so may need to keep this in the family
Are they powder coated from factory or customer needs to do it?
Probably will go for three bar .120 without tread plate.

I've had the .120 angled no plate sliders since March or April. They are awesome..
Mine came raw and I primed and rattle canned. Better that way for future touch up

Awesome, could you post a few pics when you get a chance? Do they tuck up nicely?

I've not been able to post pics on this forum without them all being upside down! They do tuck up really nicely. If you PM me your mobile # I can text some pics.

I'm a noob so please have mercy on me. I just ordered the smittybilt gen 3 9500 and a victory4x4 blitz, but then saw this bumper afterwards. i can still cancel the victory if needed.
for those of you who have the LFD bumper, do you have any regrets/concerns having the winch exposed? Would you have also preferred a light mount and/or bull bar like the victory has?
Any opinions from people who chose alternatives would be appreciated as well. One thing I do kind of regret in any hidden winch scenario is losing the handy +12v post on the control box for the winch, as it keeps you from having to open your hood to hook up a compressor.

I have a Warn slimline; I ordered it because it had virtually no lead time and I had a few Amazon prime gift cards; additionally it showed up on my radar because it has roughly "hand sized" openings on the front in order to (easily) reach in and turn on the wireless switch on the winch and the clutch handle. It's been nice to just reach in the front and in a few seconds be ready to winch as compared to some friends with other bumpers who have to pop the hood and reach down from the top.
With that being said, after using the winch a handful of times, more access would absolutely be better. Specifically more access/view of the spool. It's really surprising to me that many companies seem to be doing everything possible to hide the winch, which can look cool and sound neat; but is horrible in practice.
TL;DR get a bumper with as much winch access as possible if you ever think you'll use it. A LFD full bumper is in my future at some point because of this

No regrets - every time I use it I am sure I made the right decision for spool access.
My last two concerns on the LFD were
1 - UV Exposure on synthetic line
After doing more research I decided it wasn't that big of a deal.
These lines came from the fishing industry.
Plus the line isn't that exposed, particularly with the last several wraps covered in an abrasion sleeve.
I make sure the sleeve covers the line sticking out of the hawse to the hook.
Thought about a thimble, but too much $$.
2 - Winch freezing up in a block in snow & sleet
Between sun and a warm engine, I haven't really faced this problem since I don't live in that snowy of an area.
I bought a $15 winch cover if I'm heading out in bad weather.
I assume if necessary I can whack the crusty outer covering off and then uncover a fairly protected winch.
We will see if it ever happens.

I have thought about a winch cover... but I haven't needed it. Honestly, I have zero regrets with my LFD Hybrid front bumper, and I have zero plans to change to anything else unless LFD wants to add some tubular extensions to my Hybrid... I would totally buy into that.

Glad everyone likes it. I am going to get one. Can any winch fit on it and is the electrical install easy?

I'm sure someone can chime in with a winch that doesn't fit, but most of the normal horizontal layout winches will fit.
Wide is not a problem.
Depth - may or may not have to bend the cooler line behind it (I didn't).
Height - taller is less convenient - things (like controls) start getting behind grill and harder to reach from access hole area.
I think my Engo fits pretty well.
Easy to get to clutch.
Plugging in solenoid was getting annoying, so I bought a 3' extension that I always leave plugged in and coiled around the base of the winch.
Now it takes me 10 seconds to plug in the controller and mess with the clutch.
I'm sure there are similar options with other winch brands.
Not to get too far off LFD topic - but I'd say stick with a big, name brand winch with history and service.
Warn, Engo, Mile Marker, Ramsey, SuperWinch, ?
I'm sure you'll get other folks chiming in about all others that are just as good... but you bought a Toyota for reason.
Get a Toyota-winch not a Yugo-Winch.

I didn't answer the electrical.
I went easy - just hooked it up and its always "hot".
Piece of cake and lots of room.
Bumper has zero affect on this really.
If you are concerned about hot wiring or want to go fancy, you can make it harder.
There are tons of threads with pros & cons of disconnects, dash switches, ...
I figured I could modify if I wanted in the future.
Just recently ran lights and a few other electrical mods.
So I know what I'd do now, just not sure it's worth it.
