    Installed them this morning. Bumper isn't going anywhere now. I am heading to Moab in October and will most likely have to do some witching. Great product, and thank you.

    Just ordered a set of these. I'll follow up how they install on a Warn hidden winch bumper.

    Installed these today on a Warn hidden winch mount, all went well.

    Here’s a few things.

    Couldn’t use the lock washers on the OEM front bolts, not enough threads.

    Couldn’t use the most rear bolt since I didn’t want to drill through the front of my plate bumper mount (too hot and not enough drill bits, at least not today).

    Lastly, had to drill out a bit of the powder coat in the two holes of one of the brackets.

    These are definitely thicker steel than most anything on the truck!

    They fit, minus the rear bolt unless you want to drill through the Warn mount plate, see my post above.

    So glad I installed these!! Had to winch out of a hairy predicament in Moab last week, I wouldn’t have felt comfortable without these installed.

    Top of the world, this was a bypass to get around some 2.5-3’ step-ups near the top.... needless to say I’m too heavy to get up these without lockers. Tried many different lines and approaches and just couldn’t get up. I was pretty much winching the whole weight of my truck up those ledges and the bumper didn’t budge. Wheeling alone, I was glad I could rely on my recovery equipment. The finale of the trail was worth the trouble! The trail is super dig out from the Jeepers with huge tires I guess, was on skids and sliders the whole way down.

    You should be good, I used “all trails” to stay on track. Took about 2.5 hrs to get to the top, and about 2 going down the mountain. Enjoy! And Thank you!
