Expedition One basic DX front winch bumper.

Anyone have this bumper installed or know anyone who does? Just want some reviews if possible or maybe some pics. I like the minimalist look and think it would be perfect for the JK Willys.

I have it, looks pretty good and is easy to install. If you need your fog lights then definitely get the side wings with it, although they're a bit confusing to install without the instructions(bought it second-hand).
I'll see if I can get some pictures for you, PM me with your personal email. Having trouble uploading to the forum for some reason.
It's pretty light and is very basic overall, I also bought the MBRP light bar(the thick one), and didn't find out until afterwards that it wouldn't fit on anything but the stock bumper. The EXP1 doesn't have much in the room for add on's to the bumper itself, so I looked for my own way. Ended up having a friend fab up some brackets to make the light bar work with holes and things that are already there. I can send you pics of those too if you'd like.
Another thing I did that I do and don't wish I'd done is cut the factory fog light wires for aftermarket ones. I want to go to the inspired engineering revolver that plug and play. But anyways, I have the pilot fog replacements and used some push bullet connectors so if I ever need to take the side wings off, I just quick pull the wires and loosen the side wing bolts and they come right off.

Thanks, pm sent. Will this bumper fit most winches up to 10,000 like the other bumpers on their website? Do you have any winch recommendation for this bumper?

So the short part of that, it would probably hold up to a 12k winch no problem and be able to pull on it no problem with nothing going wrong with the bumper.
