Bump...keep the interest up.
After having my bumper off and doing some measurements I'm not sure we even need one of these.It is just added cost and more importantly weight.We can just mount it right on the aluminum front aluminum bumper and have the fairlead come out a cutout in the front lower grill.
The bolt pattern for the Warn winch is 10 x 4.5 inches. Our bumpers are 3 1/4 inches wide so we'll need to get some hardened 3/8 or 5/16 allthread rod and sandwich it on there with a steel plate on the bottom.We may need to brace the front bumper back to the frame with some struts for added strength, but that's no biggy. The actual bumper is already 7075 aluminum and is pretty stout.It took some effort to drill thru it.
A Warn m6000 or m8000 would fit right in there.Warn Industries - Premium Series: M6000

follow-up to my original post: i'm now a 5G owner and interested. :biggrin2:the Lucrum seems like a sharp product: clean, integral design. i'd be interested, but of course i don't own a 2010.
Same. Has anyone talked to him about it?follow-up to my original post: i'm now a 5G owner and interested. :biggrin2:
Go to about 2:00 on the video...
Me too, but I'm too far from San Diego to offer up my TE for fitting and testing and we're stuck wishing until he gets one.I'm sold - I wish I could find someone to sell me one

I'm not really sure why you think a full winch bumper would be better both are going to mount to the same attachment points on the frame where the stock bumper attaches.
id say a full bumper would be better, but this may be a decent alternative for less serious winching.
Hawkdog21 I was responding to this comment:
I completely agree that a full winch bumper will provide much more protection than the lucrum product however i believe that this product is just as capable of winch recovery as a full winch bumper.
You are correct a full bumper is much better for serious off roading.
