Do you have a winch already? I only ask because I did, and the rugged ridge stubby I bought only fits small body winches. Something you may want to be aware of.

I am thinking of ordering that same bumper. Were you able to wire it in so that you could control using factory switch, or did you just mount the after market control? If so, where did you mount it. How have you liked that bumper?

I used the factory switch. The fog lights wired up perfectly but you do have to take the harness out of the factory bumper if you want to do it with no splicing. I love the bumper, never see many like it, and with the skid plate it looks great and it covers all the vitals well.

Perfect. Exactly what I wanted to hear. Did you add the extra two outer lights? I assume using the factory switch means they are all four on or all four off. I know on the website they show being able to switch the two outers and two inners on and off independently. That's the only trade off I see, but would rather use the factory switch. I guess I'll look at it when I get it. That was the only thing holding me back. Thanks!!

I didn't get the outer lights, it has a finned cover if you don't use the lights. The 2 lights are very bright.
