    I have one and love it. I've also used it to pull down and drag 2 trees off my property.

    Does anyone have the instructions saved locally that can post them or email them to me? All the links point to an old version of the mobtown website. I emailed mobtown - I'd like to start on the install early tomorrow morning if someone has them handy.

    I just used what was on the site. They were pretty good. One thing to note you’ll have to trim/notch the bottom of the grill for best fitment.

    Just adding some pics to an old post. Added the hitch yesterday. Came out great. Hardest part was getting the fender flares off before removing the bumper as I ended up breaking one of the clips. Do yourself a favor and reach behind the inner fender and release the clips while pushing them through. It would have saved me 30 minutes of superglue and trying to re-form the plastic pieces on the fender flare. Other than that, slowly sanding the bumper plastic and grill take time, but isn't that hard with a Dremmel and small sanding drum. Good luck.

    By all means. Great product. Can't wait to install the rest of the Mobtown goods I picked up.

    Thank you so much for sharing this!! It looks great!!!
    I've been contemplating doing the same exact thing! This just pushed me closer to doing it.
    Which winch did you go with? I've been looking at their new 12K.

    Does anyone else have a copy of the install instructions for the updated product? The link above and the link on their website still points to the manual of the older product with a different design. @Mobtown Offroad

    Badland 12K, just changed out the cable to a rope had to take off the tension bars and also if you order a rope type only go 80ft because 100ft fits a little to tight.

    Sorry for late reply, I opted for the HarborFreight 12k, don't use it much, just use it for throwing trees with wireless remote, it's the way to go if your by yourself, if I were a serious offroader I opted for a good name brand, HF newer models do look sweet.
