    Ya.intro price of $350. Includes shipping to most places. If you want the lightbar its an additional $100. & specify how many light tabs you want welded on your lightbar. Thanks

    Can we get some closer pics of the frame mounts? I see them on the bumper crumple zones and on the bottom, do they attach to the frame rail somewhere?

    Hey guys whats new & exciting anything? Hope you had a good 4th of july. Ya kept all your digits i hope. Anyways to get back to a question i missed reguarding which winch to use with the undercoverhwms. We recommend the warn m8000lb its been around forever ,solid & compact design make it a great choice to compliment our mount & your truck. Besides they have been marked down in price quite a bit. Its really a bargain for around $500 bucks. Well take it easy. Oh i almost forgot we added a few more pics to website. Check em out when ya get a chance. Take care & talk to ya later.

    As far as updates go im glad you asked. We are thinking 4 lightabs on th lightbar would probably look better then two. For all you dessert guys. And starting tomorrow we are having 5 more undercoverhwms burned out on the plasma table. & i am going to talk to a powdercoating place not to far from home. Just to see what kind of prices we can get. We are also trying to finish up on the patent here in the next week. After that is all said & done. We are going to fabricate an undercoverhwms for the FJCruiser. Debating though on using a superwinch rock 95. Its ther rockcrawler competion winch. Or go the warn m8000 & swap out the steel cable for synthetic& swap out the rollerfairlead for a cool billet aluminum one & go with the safety thimble as before. What do you guys think????

    personally I only need two lights and they're soon to be HID behind my satoshi but i know a lot of TW members would like the option. I would say if your gonna have a dedicated light bar it should have enough for 4 lights. Standard light bar should have 4 tabs IMO and It would still leave the option of only running two.

    If and when your done with the hwms I would purchase one without the light bar. :D

    Actually we fabbed up a short lightbar for those who want to run only two lights & a longer lightbar for running four lights. Everything is available for purchase on the website. We added a buy now shopping cart to the website that is secured through pay pal. So no one has any worries. Thanks for your input.

    Will these work with a smittybuilt xrc8 8,000lbs winch? And I tried the checkout on the website and total comes out to $439.95. How do we get the $350 shipped intro price?

    I looked at the specs last night and from what I can gather the xcr8 will fit like a glove. And x2 on the $350 price b/c it told me $440 also

    Hey guys how are ya? Ihate to be the bearer of bad news,but that smittybuilt xrc winch will NOT work with our mount. Its just physically too big. We would have to lower the winch plate & the fairlead would come out down about 6" lower then where it come out now. & i dont like that idea or look to be honest with ya. Also that intro price ended a couple of weeks ago. I suppose if there was a few or group of you guys wanted to buy them @ once,I should be able to get you a little bit of money off. By the way if you hurry warn has a $80 dollar coupon that is good till the end of the month. If you shop around online you can get additional coupons for these online stores. You could purchase a warn VR8000 or M8000 very reasonable . Thanks & let me know.

    Do you have any pictures of it unmounted (as shipped)?

    I'm having trouble visualizing what's new and what's being re-used.
