Xrc front bumper /Warn powerplant / winch suggestions
I'm going to swap out my stock front bumper on my jku rubicon for a smitty xrc and would like to know how people like there's if they have it. Also looking at winches and air for a same time install and wondered if the war powerplant is worth the price tag.
Any help is appreciated!

It is spendy but I've never liked any compressors out there very much. Installing compressors is a PITA and problematic at some point down the road with air leaks etc. Since the PP has the compressor built right in its ideal for me. I have plumbed compressors for diesels (air bags) and liked the single install package PP.
Let me know if you have further questions.

I think the PowerPlant is a great option, especially when underhood space is at a premium like on the JK. Some people have concerns about the larger footprint and if it allows enough airflow, but I've never had anyone come back with first hand experience of them blocking enough air to overheat. The output of the compressor (12CFM at 0 psi; 5CFM at 90 psi) is significant and the winch line speed itself is great. As far as the bumper goes, they're not bad, but you can get a quality Warn stubby for less, has provisions for fog lights and mounts for your front license plate that I think is required out in CA.
I have some of the 71800 9.5 PowerPlants in stock right now at a discount if you're interested.

Iv got an xrc bumper. Love it, good lines and looks great from all angles. Has never gotten in the way. For the license plate i hav a bag over my winch, i ziptie the plate in front of it.
