I don't know the guy in the video, but the description says the winch is a Rugged Ridge 8500lb winch. Just from doing way too much web wheelin' I think a 10,000 is more appropriate for a 4-door. Clearly he's getting it done though.
BUMPER
Someone ask him in the comments but he didn't answer. One that looks like that is the Smittybuilt XRC shown below. Looks like they come in slightly different widths.

The JK Dagger Stubby Prerunner Winch Bumper Looks somewhat like it

BTW --

For a snorkel that's intended to do more than just look nice, the Donaldson type pre-filter is more effective than the front looking intake.

Also, the down-facing intake would not collect water like a front-facing intake will.

If you get the Pre-Filter option with the AEV (vs the air ram), that's made by donaldson. Donaldson also make a pre-filter that is called "top-spin" that doesn't require cleaning (not sold through AEV) http://www.donaldson.com/en/engine/s...ary/000207.pdf . That one just dumps while it works. They basically spin the air. All the dust and crap gets pushed out to the sides, and stoped from going to the engine. It acts like a second air filter.

Default snorkel

I think snorkels look rediculous ! If you are going to get it because you think it looks cool , you are a attention whore! If you really plan to go thru deep water crossings , just don't go fast. If you are going thru deep water crossings alot , and alot of dust all the time and don't want to clean you filter , and want cleaner air , you might actually have a legit reason for one!
