    The Isuzu is a rebadged Colorado right? That bumper looks sick on that truck. Too bad no one over here is really pushing that stuff on the Colorado.

    Everyone has their own preference when it comes to the look they like, but when I looked at those and the ARB for the DMax I like that AFN better. Nice thing with a ComeUP in that bumper would be that you wouldn't have a huge roller fairlead to dig into the dirt/rocks. It would be much cleaner, tighter fit and look.

    Bummer. Seems like a brilliant choice to ban bull bars. :rolleyes:

    It's that time of year! It doesn't take much to get yourself stuck in the snow and you want to be prepared to get yourself out with a winch from ComeUp. Just in time for the holidays, get your truck a Christmas present and get a ComeUp winch installed so you can keep going no matter what the conditions. Photo Credit: Seth Jacobsen -Adventure Driven.

    Question, warn shares dimensions of their winches but that doesn't include the solenoid box... Can anyone share dimensions of the solenoid box? I'm working on designing a bumper with hidden winch and would like the dimensions to see if I will need to relocate it, and if so where it could fit.

    Thanks

    Just installed my winch the other day. Ordered a Superwinch Tiger Shark 9500SR. It is extremely tight fit even with the contactor box under the hood. Going to order the Factor 55 Splicer Thimble as soon as it's up for sale.

    Installed mine Thursday before the snowpocalypse, will be pulling the bumper again when it warms up to relocate the solenoid under the hood. Smittybilt X2O 10k w/synthetic rope and repacked with Amsoil Racing grease.

    Does anyone have pictures of how they mounted their Smittybilt GEN 2 X20 solenoid in their bumper or under the hood? This thing has no holes aside from the the tiny holes for the winch-mounted brackets which of course don't work with most of the plate bumpers out there.

    Picture for reference, how can I make them best friends?

    For anyone using in-cab switches for winch control, how did you wire the switches to the solenoid box? Is there somewhere to get a pigtail for the remote control line that can be spliced to wires from the switches?
