I finally installed the winch (Smittybilt X2O Gen2) on my Artec bumper. It has been several months since I installed the bumper. This thread helped me a lot, saving me tons of time. Thank you guys. And thank Armando from Artec Industries sending me the 4pcs shims and all your prompt response. I...

Hello, I'm interested to buy a used 9000lb ~10000lb winch with synthetic rope. Preferred Smittybilt, Warn and Superwinch. Please reply your offer, better to be around bay area thank you

This solution helped me out! Thank you for sharing! My 2018 TRD Off Road started having this rebooting issue at 8.5k miles. First, I thought I could be because the front camera I put on or the grill amber light which linked to the fuse box under hood. All the rebooting happened when I press the...

somehow it looks cute lol does it has some small alignment holes for letters? maybe some gorilla glue can fix it?

Thank you. Relocation would be great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 4r has about 2.75 “ lift at front and running BFG KO2 285/70/17 on TRD off road wheel(17/7.5/15mm offset). I found it rubbed the plastic cover in the picture a little when I turn the wheel all the way and backwards driving, such as when I backed in/out parking lot . Anyone know what that is...

Sorry 255 80is what he said, don’t know which tire he referred. but it is really a good idea. To match 285/70/17, 255/80/17 works and is available in market Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

someone on other post said 265/80/17. It would be similar dimension but thinner. So no departures angle issue Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for detailed instruction. It will save me a lot of time.

This is very helpful. Thank you.

Hi Armando, Can you share which winch you used in 4Runner on the front page of your website? And how much torque should we put on the 8 mount bolts? Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was planning go with Smittybilt XRC 9.5k. Now I’m a little nervous. Did you install winch control box on motor or above drum. I think installing on motor will make it overall shorter, not sure if that help fitting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just install the Artec front bumper and KC Apollo Pro fog light.

it can be fixed easily, and American tire should take care of that. I had same experience at 4WP. one of the front wheel stub was snapped when they did the lifting and tire installing. They told me about this when I picked up the car, and said will help me change a stud at 500 miles check after...

thank you for sharing your experience. it shocked me, because I just received my Artec bumper. I bought it from 4WP, having a shorter lead time(a week), but no free lower control arm armor. The first one I got was found had a out of shape screw hole on the wing plate of the bumper as picture 1...
