    The BPF skid goes realllllly well with it. But I had to get longer bolts and ended up using a shit ton of washers for now to space it down off the edge so it won't rub. But it looks slick as shit

    I kind of like this more than the US Offroad one I installed this past summer. First time I had a chance to use my warn winch...couldn't plug in the remote...

    The smittybilt x20 has a wireless option, but I used the wired to wind the rope. Tons of room to reach in

    I need to get the wireless module for mine. I almost pre-wired the remote when installing the bumper, but didn't. Then went to pull someone out of a ditch and was just dumbfounded lol. Yanked them out with a recovery strap instead.

    Ive been looking at the US Offroad one for a while!! I’m not a fan of push bars typically, but I like the way the warn one fills the opening more fully, like the 3rd gen.

    I do like how stealth it is! Just seems this warn bumper has a lot better access to the winch. Something to think about.

    Here's a link to mine cause the image is HUGE when i upload it for some reason: https://i.imgur.com/YwTGnIW.jpg

    Awesome truck man! Looks extra badass with the skid plate continuing back! I’m still sort of torn between ‘em.

    @Wyckedan Looks Really Good!!

    Does your license plate use the little factory holes in the white plastic?
    Ohio has front plates also.

    so in making a list for ordering one:

    bumper
    winch
    line
    washers for spacers for skid

    what did you need that I am missing?

    Can you post a picture front the side showing how far it sticks out in front of your truck?

    My white bumper had holes, I didn't like where they were so I actually added 2 new ones at the bottom. I don't care cause they're covered, and I noticed my clear coat is starting to chip off anyways, so I might try and find somebody's takeoff.

    Your list is good. If you have the same skid I'd just order aluminum spacers 3/4" longer than the ones that come with it instead of washers. I'll get a side photo later today

    I have the US Offroad version and actually like it a lot. I have no trouble plugging in the remote or using the clutch, but I also am using a Warn wireless model. I think the USO version angles are better, you get light tabs, and I don't care for the bull bar look so the more streamlined USO looks better IMO.

    But the Warn is a decent product and any of the stealth winch mounts that replace the middle bumper fascia are a nice choice for the later 2nd gen trucks.

    Not a huge fan of bull bar on top, but otherwise it's looking great. I am also looking for hidden bumper winch and this seems like a good option, that I can also get in Canada (since border is closed...)

    Any idea how much space there is between both ends of bull bar (red arrows)? I currently have "hidden" 30" light bar and low it at night so wouldn't mind having something similar with a winch mount.

    I have the same issue, I might just install a plug extension if I can. I can get my hand in there to switch the wireless on and off but the plug isnt exactly the easiest to plug in but its much better than other vendors offer that totally enclose the winch. . Its much better than having to reach down behind the grill
