rvzoo I cant wait to hear and see how it goes. Sharkbite, you are the closest look to what I am thinking. Thanks for the pics.

Sharkbite, How did you do your stubby? Very clean looking I must say.

How did you mount the winch in the stock bumper. It looks great and that is what I want to do. I am unable to mount it upside down as I have the electronic sway bar disconnect.

Can anyone with the MBRP light bar tell me if it mounts on the inside of the frame rail or the outside or can it be either?

I did my stubby like the thread on here- folded the ends back and plastic "welded" with a soldering iron. There is a pretty good description on an older thread if you search stock stubby. For the winch mount, I trimmed a universal winch plate from Harbor Freight and mounted it upside down. I'm pretty sure I saw one mounted this way on a Rubi, it was tight but it did fit with the sway bar disconnect. You could look through some of the older threads and check. I have a word document made up with some tips I learned from doing mine, if you decide to try it PM me and I can email it to you.

I might have to ask for that from you sharkbite if I dont get any pics of a winch mounted upright with an MBRP light bar.

I actually just finish installing my winch today on my stock bumper, I already had the light bar and was able to keep it on with the winch. I will post pictures very soon, it is a tight fight but looks nice.

That is great news. I would love to see it when you can. Did you have to modify the light bar mounts?

If you would like to see how the MBRP light bar mounts, send me a pm with your email address and I'll send you a PDF version of the install instructions.
