It installs into same holes which fairlead uses so eventually winch mount holder sits between the bumper and the fairlead.

Thanks. Just pre-ordered and looking forward to end of January and finally having a real bumper on Jeep.

Just released our new Stamped Modular Bumpers at SEMA Show 2022 🔥
Having pre-ordered the full width/full kit, two more quick questions if you don't mind:
a) wondering if the full kit also comes with stubby end caps you can run if desired.
b) if not mounting a winch immediately upon installing bumper/winch mounting plate, how big a deal is it to install winch down the road? Do you need to remove the whole bumper again - or is it a simple drop-in?

Thanks,
JBC

The caps are still planned to be offered separately later next year to allow replacing for example a damaged cap. Having both stubby and wide caps in each bumper a) doesn't help to make a great quality product super affordable and b) increases the weight of the whole package so why to let UPS make money : ). While we are are that changing caps back and forth from stubby to wide is not going to be happening often.

b) if not mounting a winch immediately upon installing bumper/winch mounting plate, how big a deal is it to install winch down the road? Do you need to remove the whole bumper again - or is it a simple drop-in?
The bumper will need to go off for winch mount installation, which is really fast to do.

Is that one mine? ;)
Now that I'm looking at this clip, I see mounting holes in the bottom of the hoop. I had been assuming the hoop was enclosed on the back side, but seeing light thru these mount holes makes me think it maye be open on the back? Any pics of the rear of the hoop ( grill side)?

Aaah, I somehow missed that post. This is the only thing so far that I'm not 100% in love with. I didn't picture it open like that in the back.

without reading through the entire thread, and looking at the product on your web site, the hoop is described as a "led" hoop...am I blind and just not seeing the led's?

Wow, I just noticed ( I come here all the time to look at this thing hoping to see an " it's shipping soon" note) that there is a great looking cover for the winch area. This is awesomethat I hadn't noticed, as I won't be running a winch and so many bumpers look like something is missing without a winch there!

These front aluminum skid plates are on ETA mid-January.

By the way, our 1/4-in aluminum Muffler Skid Plates are now available 👍 Will do another thread about them and add more pictures.

Forum Code JLFRM10 applies :clap:
