Default xr8 on stock bumper

After having my winch sit in my garage for a month trying to decide on what bumper to get, I decided to go ahead and put it on the stock bumper for now. I used the harbor freight universal channel mount. I picked up (4) 1/2-13 5.5" long grade 8 bolts with nuts from a local harware store. I was actually surprised how much cutting and grinding i had to do. I do not consider my self a beginer and it took me about 4 hrs to complete this. Most of the time was spent trimming and testing over and over to get the bumper back on. I am sure it would have come out better cosmetically if i had more patience. here are a few pics. Sorry i dont have any during the project. I always wish afterwards that i had taken some. Thanks to the other members on here that did this first and showed their results.

thanks. pretty easy to do just need a few tools and some patience. any project that takes more than 3 hours starts to piss me off and i start rushing. let me know if you have any questions when you et ready to do yours.
