Got the new bumper on a few weeks ago and towed it around with RV, worked great. Thanks for the info and sending me in the right direction !!

I found it easier to do the winch at the same time. It was very difficult to get to the winch bolts with the bumper installed.

I can see adding the winch later being a challenge, wanted to get it on for road trip and winch wont be coming along for a while. I didnt want to rush and get a cheap winch to just get one in, so saving up and when it is time to get the right one, will probably pull bumper back down and install them together.

It was harder getting the stock bumper off than getting this one on, was very happy with no cutting or welding, direct bolt on was great..

Thanks again for the recommendations and feedback !!

Did you use the long spacers? Did you save the others? My winch touches the grill and I used the long spacers.

The Smittybilt XRC narrow bumper has 1” wide d-ring anchors. The Blue Ox adapters fit just right. No slop.
