Turns out there is a problem with the switch on my winch. They have ordered me a new one but it means a different winch so I'll be experiencing the removal and install of a winch on the installed bumper. Good to hear it may only take 30 mins if all goes well.

I have the Motomaster version and it has little square nuts that you have to place in the feet. I put tape over the insert points so the wouldn't slide out but it was still a piece of work. I was thinking that reaching into the bumper from under the Jeep would be the hardest part.
I also am debating the overrider hoop. I do like the look without, so I may just go with it. Good luck with the next inch install!
Here's what it looks like now.

Looks great!
I'm getting an XHD soon and have a question for you guys. I want to get the bumper now, but can't afford the winch at the same time. How bad do you think it will look without the winch until I can save up for it? I was thinking about mounting some lights to fill the space in the middle and maybe make it a little less noticeable...
