This is Len's truck.... "Tothewall"

He has the bumper you asked about with a warn powerplant winch. That winch is the balls. And his dual inflation/deflation device is awsome too.

That says 2-3 hours for the install. How the heck does that take 2-3 hours?

That's a very gross overstatement...maybe if they were a shop ripping someone off. It took me about 40 minutes, mainly because I was working alone and on the Rubi you have to completly unbolt the sway bar because the motor is too wide to let the bracket slide in. Otherwise it would have been more like 20 minutes.

You remove the plastic outer bumper and the entire metal piece underneath with the crush cans. You will be bolting the bumper directly to the frame. Hope that helps.

Is anyone else having rubbing issues with the end caps and 35's with a 2.5 in Teraflex BB? I get major rubbage when the front of my jeep dips, like reversing, or turning downhill. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix it, besides cutting into the caps?
