5th Gen (10 - 13) Lo-Pro Winch Bumper

Finally installed Lo Pro with smittybilt xrc 9.5k winch on SR5. Great video from C4 fab and awesome tips from this forum.

About time I got this done!

I finally got through some of the other backlog of work around the house and got around to getting this bumper set up.

I had a 2 row 20" light bar I'm pretty fond of, but C4 only made single row cutouts available, so I went with no cutout and made my own to fit my bar. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

12,000 LB Harbor Freight winch I had sitting around got mounted and fit just fine. The roller fairlead did not, and needed a couple new mounting holes drilled to make it work. If anyone else is looking at that winch, I can confirm it will fit. And before everyone jumps on me over the cheapo winch, at whatever point in time it blows up, I'll replace with something heavier duty. I'm not planning to use it much, or with luck, at all.

Your modifications turned out great!

And don’t sweat the winch snobs. I know the HF winch is no Warn, but the reviews on the thing are stellar and for most people who will rarely use a winch, it’ll serve its purpose.

Thanks man, I appreciate the compliment. It was a bit unnerving to pull the brand new bumper out of the box and immediately take the angle grinder to it to make some new holes. :eek:

I'm not worried about the winch snobs so much, mostly letting them know to save their breath. I know my winch is cheap and won't stand up to full day pulls, and is super slow. I also know it was cheap and I've managed to get this far in life with only having taken a line once so I'm not super liekely to need it at all, but better to have a cheap winch than no winch at all IMO.

My thoughts exactly with my needs. In fact, where I off road, I usually don’t even have anything to winch to so I’ve gone the traction pad routes (X-Bull). I have a friend with a Rubicon who trashes pretty much everything I do to my rig, ditches his nice winch for a Warn just so he can attend a Warn day in MOAB, then never off roads again since. So, unless you’re using that winch all day long, it seems like a waste of money. Know your needs I guess is my advice to others. Warn is truly awesome but again, that HF unit has hundreds of reviews and they’re all good.

End rambling.

Rig really looks great!

Yeah unfortunately they were pretty upset about the amount of folks that were committed that later backed out. $525.25 shipped was a heck of a deal.

They were referring to the 2010-2013 lo pro bumper, which is different from the 2014+. The attached ad is for 2014+
 
one listed does fit the 14 plus models, what would be a good price to buy it at? Would need to have it powder coated black cost about $150-200
