Added a bumper and a winch finally! Quadratec bumper- I like the look.

Need to get a wash though. Nasty.
Also, it looks to me like the bottom of the winch guard is 6-7" above the top of the bumper. Is that about right? I'm hoping to mount some round lights under the bar.

Nice! I'm going with the same bumper and winch. Mine is currently shipping. How was the install?
Angering. I learned all new swear words. Look, the winch was fine. The removal of the bumper was easy. The install of the bumper was easy. The issue? Quadratec designed the fog light bezel for tools that don’t exist. There are tiny nuts and bolts when there are much easier ways. They even had an ikea style deal with an included Allen wrench. Screw stripped out halfway in and it’s too small to use an adapter.

I love the look and results. But they really need to redo the fog light install.

Good to know! I'll Google some new curse words so I'll be ready.

Did you know there is an indicator on the gas gauge that shows you which side you put the gas in?
I kid you not- I thought this was a picture of “blondes get gas” or something funny. Didn’t realize it was just a post. Lol!

Installed Barricade HD skid plate. Not meant for Adventure HD front bumper. Had to make a bracket for top attachment.
Disappointed that the textured coating doesn't even come close to matching the bumper.

was an ‘18 Rubicon Mojito! now a boring Mazda
Installed front and rear track bars from Rusty’s off-road. Front axle was 1/4inch off center, the back was centered. Crazy how with just a 1.5” spacer lift shifts everything. Also had to re-center the steering wheel.

Stock tires? Looks nice
Edit: I see 315s. Nice.

It’s not really a cheap thing. Just a design flaw. The bumper itself is about the same price as others in the category. Some of the more complex ones are hideous and I don’t need bulletproof thickness for its use.
