    So, I am fairly close to pulling the trigger on the C4 Fabrication Hybrid Bumper...the three options they have for winches are

    Come Up Winch Seal Gen 2 9.5RS
    Warn VR Evo 10-S
    Warn ZEON 10-S

    Anyone have any experience with any of those winches?

    Thanks!

    I looked at their product and the only thing i didnt like was that it comes bare metal. You would have to get it powder coated elsewhere. Otherwise i really like the options/details they are providing.

    Yeah, that's a big negative about them.

    I guess I don't really see what the big deal is when it comes to it coming bare metal??? Of the parts I've ordered that have come coated, a lot of times they have come scratched up and needed to be touched up any way. If they did send it with a coating, it would just add to the overall price. There are plenty of local powder coaters around and they can get you set up with a custom coat pretty easily. Or you can go a different route, just more options for the customer.

    As for the winch, I went with the Warn Evo 10-S. Got it for a good price, has a synthetic line, and will work perfect for my needs/adventures.

    I guess i can see that too. If i wanted it to make the paint color it could be possible. Actually fairly easy seeing as i have the super white. That really does change my opinion a bit

    I mean, most of the powder coating coming from the shops are all different. I picked up a Leitner rack and it has a greyish coating to it, my sliders are satin black. The rack has a texture to it, my sliders do not. I'm thinking once my bumper shows up, I'll probably have them try to match my rack. Then eventually get my sliders done up similarly once they are ready for a new coat.
