    I believe so. I got it several months ago so I don't quite remember off the top of my head.

    ha ha, I've done about 90% of everything on my truck, sans the gears and winch which SDHQ handled. But I am definitely well prepared. Still on the fence though, I go back and fourth on it constantly.

    My first warn Zeon platinum 10s failed on me 30 seconds into testing it... I had to rip everything apart and start over minus the sdhq hidden mount. I drank a lot of beers that night!

    Holy hell, that would suck!! I've used my winch a few times (not for me) and that thing is a beast! SO much pulling power. You are going to be very happy.

    The top bar is a rigid 40", Some guy in need of money was selling it on craigslist. $300 for a $1200 bar... so that eased the pain a bit

    Nice! for my setup, with 50k lumens behind the grill alone, IF I do get a prinsu, I would jest get the standard fairing

    But you got a great damn deal!!

    I did it, I had one of my clients- WFO in Auburn California do, they said it was a piece of cake, and best mount out there. I hid it under stock front plate holder- modified slightly with a tilt up plate.. keeps the cops happy- I also did install the 3/8 spacer due to the sag problemIMG_3379.jpgIMG_3379.jpgIMG_3377.jpgIMG_3379.jpgIMG_3377.jpgIMG_3378.jpg

    Thanks for posting pics on mounting the license plate. I didn't want to mount one but I also don't want to give a cop a reason to pull me over. I'm going to try modifying a casacadia flipster to work. If that fails I'll go with your idea.

    Ive got a Cascadia flipster with my mount - works perfect. I had to enlarge the hole in the plastic bumper cover to allow the flipster to come out the top and then to stick out the bottom a bit

    sweet, glad to know it will work! Any chance you could post a pic or email me a pic? Just to get an idea of where I need to cut

    Is there a reason everyone seems to be changing the fairlead? Will the Warn fairlead that comes with the winch work?

    Ideally I would like to use the Warn fairlead, add a factor 55 flatlink E and cover it all with the factory plate mount. Sound good?

    It'll work just fine. I went factor 55 just because it was a bit cleaner and more subtle
