I'm looking to fill the gaping hole in my ARB bumper with an Engo winch soon, can anyone give me any tips to make the install a Lil easier. Any special tools needed? Can the winch be installed without removing the bumper?

Very easy install. 4 bolts easy to get to, run your wires.

They are sturdy!! Saw a pic here on the forum somewhere of an SUV (?) that hit the corner of an ARB on a member's JK in a parking garage - he had a scuff on his bumper; she had to be towed away.

Got mine installed today. Had it powder coated matte black with a little texture to match the fenders. Love the way it turned out.

Welcome to the club ! It really stands out and make the jeep have a more aggressive look. And it's so sturdy.

I've been back and forth on bumpers for months. This threat has my mind made up. Already got a Warn 9.5cti waiting on the workbench.
Great looking jeeps all!
