JK bumper installed with winch

[jericbarg]

My 14 y/o Son installed the bumper/winch/LED lightbar today. He even modified the OEM splash shield to give it a finished look underneath. Wired the #3 in and #4 Out Aux switches to control it. He used the AUX #1 for the LED and mounted the OEM fogs in the round holes.

Not bad for a $350 investment.

That's all he cost?!

Looks SWEET, tho!

Yes

The bumper was a damaged return on eBay $100 and the winch was eBay also at $300 but it had a $50 mail in rebate. Light bar was a leftover from a UTV build.

The bumper had a small scratch, a little satin black and you cannot see it.

He located the solenoid pack under the bumper out of harms way which streamlined the look.
The corded remote plugs in by the battery if we decide to ever use it. Aux switches make it nice!!!!

That's a midwidth right? Would love to see a full width to see if it's still flush with the new JL fenders.

Thank you.

I am training him to be independent just like my Dad did for me.

Looks great. Your son did an awesome job! Any info about the winch?

 

[jericbarg]

It is a Westin 11000 lb winch with synthetic rope. Good winch for the money. It is basically the same as Smittybilt and rugged ridge. They have excellent customer service and have never let me down.

By "he", I meant your son.

Actually he cost more, but worth every penny.
