X2 on the looks!! I am still running stock, but personally I think they are the first and maybe the best mods to get. Hope to have similar mod soon.

New bumper and winch looks great! I have a quick question for you since I have the same bumper.... when you put on the bumper did you have to leave the front grill off so you can get to the bumper bolts and then attach the winch?
I need to take mine off to put the purejeep shackle mounts this weekend and i can't seem to find any other way to get to the inner bumper bolts unless you unbolt the winch and take off the grill to slide back the winch

When I put the Winch on I did remove the grill. I ran into clearance problems on the driver side frame tabs (flat piece on end of rail) I had to bend it out of the way because the winch was hitting. Also you need some tapered head bolts to mount the failead or you will have to grind the heads down. Other than that it was ok. As for the shackle mounts, you are right. There is no way to get to them. Send pics when you finish, that's my next mod other than lights.
I'll probably do the shackle mounts next weekend and will take pics when they're on.
