Please note:

Yes, the winches listed above have been verified to fit nicely within the bumper either with built in solenoids or detachable. At first, we were uncertain of certain winch designs, but after many different members examples of their installs we are confident that nearly all standard size winches will fit with very minimal or no fuss.

[MENTION=114376]Mooney[/MENTION] is correct. I designed the bumper with a synthetic line/hawse style fairlead in mind. A roller fairlead for steel cable will work, but it just doesnt look as good as a simple hawse style. If purchasing a steel cable winch, please shop around for a steel hawse fairlead. Synthetic line equipped winches should come with an aluminum fairlead, so no need to purchase separately.

Info on Group Ship

SouthernSS:

For group shipping to San Diego or any other central location, we'd need at least 3 people to agree to pick up their order at the nearest receiving center. They'll be shipped on a single pallet or crate and a single person will have to take responsibility for pickup and distribution. Southern Style Speed and EHEO will not be held responsible if the package is signed for by the responsible party but all bumpers were not distributed to the other members.

That being said, it looks like we'd be able to get 3-4 bumpers shipped to San Diego from Baton Rouge for about $120 a bumper. Unfortunately, weight is weight to the shipping companies so there isnt any real savings there, but we will be able to use a single pallet and fewer overall packing materials so you'll be saving about $35 per bumper in materials. San Diego is almost as far as shipment will go besides Washington state so this price should be less for closer locations. This may be more of a headache than its worth, but we'll try it if members would like.

This is my first post but I am wanting one of these also. Would a warn 9500i winch fit in this bumper, since that is what i already have? Or is a 2" receiver an option instead of a winch mount (winch is already on a multimount)?

2. raptore [hoop/black pc/25" embedded lightbar/no winch]
3. Socalrunnertrail [hoop/no pc/no lightbar/which winch?]
4. Jabberjaw [hoop/no pc/no lightbar/no winch]
5. JonDaddy82 [hoop/black pc/no lightbar/no winch]
6. MAD 4Runner [hoop/no pc/no lightbar/no winch]
7. BigCSS [hoop/no pc/25" flushed lightbar (including light bar)/winch mount]

Process changed. "Please IM me what you need, as well as your name/email/phone-num." instead of cutting and pasting and adding yourself to a running list. The ONLY list that is in effect and being maintained is the one in the first post of this thread.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I've tried to pm twice but it's not showing as sent in my folder, not sure what I'm doing wrong.

 

[3wbdriver]

You're not doing anything wrong. This forum is set to NOT save sent pm's by default. You need to go to your console to change it.

[MENTION=121724]BigCSS[/MENTION] , I got ya. But I don't get paid doing this, so there may be some lag before I get to add your "order".

If you want in, please IM me what you need, as well as your name/email/phone-num.

> hoop OR no hoop

> no winch mount OR winch mount only OR list your winch choice

If you did not read the first post closely and did not send me the right format, and instead, having me to decode and work out exactly what you need, then it may take even longer; or never.

I would like to be put on the list for one with the hoop, no powdercoating,the 25" light bar and it flushed in between the d-ring mounts, and winch mount. Are the able to put a 2" receiver in instead of a winch mount? Also how much would shipping be?

Cheers!

Also, I'll need to know whether you'll need the TRD skid plate option. I've had to modify the design to accommodate the TRD plate.

I don't have the TRD skidplate but it is something I want in the future. Do I need to have it at the same time or is it something you can make the modification for now and then when I get around to it, the TRD skidplate will fit?

 

[SouthernSS]

You'll need the TRD option then, if you ever plan on running the TRD plate.

Kevin, you may want to post pics of both so buyers can see the difference. I understood it after our discussion, but pictures are worth 1,000 words.

 

[brownbull]

I would like the TRD skid plate but as I understand it since I have KDSS it will conflict with the arms. Any advice? Should I get the option on the bumper and then hope that I can modify the skid plate to fit? Or just get another type of skid plate. What about shrockworks? With the standard bumper work with their skid plate?

 

[SouthernSS]

Err, it sounds like you'd best be served by just going with another brand of skid plate. The standard slimline bumper will accomodate all other known aftermarket skid plates. The TRD plate is a peculiar beast in the way that it rises way beyond the bolt locations, I guess for aesthetics.

 

[SouthernSS]

For those wondering what the difference is, if you take a look at this pic, you'll see that the TRD plate extends up and into the area that used to be occupied by my bumper. I've had to cut away and rebrace approximately as much plate as you see marked in red to make sure the two do not interfere.

How do you get to the winch free spool lever or where to plug in the remote to use the winch with your bumper? These are important issues and may make me reconsider ordering this bumper if there is no easy access to these things on the winch.

 

[SouthernSS]

The easiest thing to do is to cut a relief into your upper radiator cover so you can reach your arm down to your clutch lever once the hood is popped. You could also clock the clutch side of the winch to face directly forward so that you can put an extension on the clutch lever and make it go beyond the honeycomb grille. It really depends on the particular winch/solenoid setup.
