    Great write up! Just got done installing my SSO slimline! I purchased the Smittybilt X2O winch with synthetic rope. I really like the hook setup you have on your winch line and can’t find one for the life of me. If you don’t mind me asking where did you get it, or did it come with the winch?

    Does anyone know if the sso slimline interferes with the radar and also would a behind the grill light install (caliraised led brackets) work with the setup?

    It doesn’t interfere with the radar sensor on mine

    They do make license plate brackets that mount with the hewed fairline. C4Fab has one on their site.

    Thanks for a great write up, followed it more than SSO’s instructions. Haha

    Yes we know the bumper will not interfere with the caliraised bar in the lower position, just above the bumper not in the grill, but can you still get a winch in there with the light bar? It doesn’t look like it to me.

    Great Article!
    Thanks for the time and effort put in in this. You deserve a bear or two!
    I really like the finish/texture of your bumper. Was it line-x?

    Also - does anybody know if you can order this bumper without the winch cutouts? I don't really need a winch and would like it to look more like a factory setup.

    @Marius

    I may need to rescind that comment. Looking at their website, it doesn't give that option. I thought it used to have it.

    @SouthernStyleOffRoad may need to chime in, but I'd think you could "special" order it with no holes and no winch shelf (lighter).

    If nothing else, they make a blocker plate to cover the hole, until you eventually get a winch.

    Thanks for double-checking on that. That mod is still out in the future for me, so maybe they will offer the option by then.

    I didn’t even look at the SSO instructions that I got with the bumper, literally followed this thread and it came out perfect.

    Thank you!

    No fairlead? I mistakenly forgot to put mine on until after the bumper and winch was in place. Let me tell you, getting a wrench on the backside of that small hole (through a fairlead) was a major PITA.
