My M8000 was installed after the bumper- it was fairly easy- no tape or anything. This is an extremely popular bumper. I ran it sans winch for a while. I didn't think it looked odd. A good storage spot for dog poop bags

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...

Didn't add the winch until after the bumper was on and it went fine. Superwinch 12.5sr with a Ramsey Patriot cover that fit like a glove

It's the only picture I have.
This winch / bumber combo left about a 1/4" all around the inside of the well so the mount sits in front of the bumper's 'hole' and behind the hawse. There's just enough room to pop the lens off/on.

Thank you sir.
Admire your work as well. Just when I thought I was done (at least with aux lighting until I work my way to the rear) I see your images and start thinking .....hummm that PSC windshield to roof bracket is looking good and I'd bet I could fabricate something across the top like Echo has, with it. I just have to convince myself I need it now.
