    That’s cool most everyone gets a faux Pro grill. Nice to see some OEM

    I have a 2016. The OEM was not nice that year...

    That was my thought. Everyone else is driving around with their sr5, sport and offroad with the faux Pro grill I though I'd be different. Beside the pro grill ain't all that attractive IMO

    This is an awesome install @Slick Taco ! Did you go with a Warn Zeon 10-S with this? Any issues with the hood latch bracket as part of this install or did you have to modify the bracket like what @Hodakaguy did with his SSO install? Also, totally impressed with your @CaliRaisedLed light bracket behind the grill. Any issues with the radar with this mod?

    I did not do the install myself. After a TON of research and looking at all the manufacturers I decided on the SSO Slimline with the 32" cutout. Looooong story short as possible...My local dealership and a place I've purchased three vehicles loves to do builds on their new trucks. A few months ago I was at said dealership getting a part for my Tundra and noticed he had a really nicely built Tacoma with a bad ass front bumper on it. Parts department guy says "that's the SSO slimline and we ordered another one six weeks ago if you want us put your name on it". Perfect!!.. its exactly what I wanted and i dont have to wait the 8 week lead time. The winch is the 8k and I dont know about the hood latch I just know it works as it did prior to the install. The Caliraised behind the grill light brackets and lightbar I installed myself and it does not affect the radar or any other part of the TSS. Thanks for the nod
    :cheers:

    Thank you so much @Slick Taco ! I have a SSO on order, and basically going to do your setup! You have motivated me to keep on with my plan for a SSO, Light Bar, and Warn winch, especially with the OEM grill (my exact setup)! Your rig absolutely rocks! Love it!

    I have a caliraised 32 inch light bar in the lower portion behind the grill, my new SSO Slimline is waiting For my 20 inch Baja Designs amber driving light bar, my question will installing a winch be possible with the Cali raised bar in the grill?

    I have the same set up and it is not a problem. They do not effect each other in any way. You can see the top of the wench housing behind the bull bar hoop in the LOWER grill section sits much low than the placement of the light bar. Hope this helps :thumbsup:

    nice, back home my fire departments rescue truck had a winch set up like this so we could winch from all 4 sides of the truck. was way more practical than trying to angle up in the event of needing it. hope you dont need to use it in any other direction than forward but if you need to go backwards your set !

    Magnets and a threaded rubber bumper in the middle. Works like a charm even at high speeds (tested at 100+mph) and comes off easily when you need to use the winch

    Not sure what bumper you're running, but on the C4 LoPro, I went with 1/4" stainless nutserts, and a couple anodized 1/4-20 knurled Harley Davidson seat thumbscrews. Didn't like any of the flip up or other easy on/off options, so came up with this. Quick on and off and looks nice.

    Ok guys, which one of these has enough of a lip on the top, under the bull bar to mount 2 or 3 BD LP9’s?
