Interesting your bull bar is about the same height as someone's head sitting in a passenger car. I'm sure nobody blinded by your LED lights will pull out though.
Sadly I lost a dear friend that way. That's why I bought trucks and an suvs for my kids and taught them how to drive safely. It's not my responsibility for someone else's poor choices. If you get tboned that was a poor choice to pull into traffic, even moreso in an unsafe passenger car. My jeep, my ultra safe mercedes, whatever you think is a safe car... im the least of your worries...Today's generation of drivers doesn't care about your poor decisions.
i have the same bumper and will likely get the same winch after watching your video. you should do a video on the way you did those zip ties....that looks really neat. stay safe.
Good video, just curious why you didn’t remove your air box and grill for better wire routing. The zip ties are nice but I would like to know if the exposed wires from the winch need to be that exposed? Can they have been loomed and hidden behind or under the grill? Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I have the same RR bumper Warn winch combo. About to install the winch this weekend. Can those cables be hidden? My family’s from 🇬🇺 Guam. How do you like the island. Pretty small.
Its small and covid has made it even smaller. We can't go anywhere right now. The Government is not the best and we get by. You can hide the wires if you cut the front grill.
Thanks for the video! I just purchased the Rugged Ridge bumper and the same winch - neither of which are on my Gladiator yet. If you were to do both at the same time, would you install the winch on the bumper before mounting to the Jeep? Don't know if that is even possible with the winch support brackets on the bumper, but wanted to ask your opinion. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Have you seen my other video of the bumper install. You will want to do the bumper first and then the winch. The winch drops right in after the bumper is on. Good luck.
Hi .. great video .. I have the same RR bumper in my JL sahara 4Door. I want to go with warn winch. Just wondering, shall i go with 10s or 12s lb? Is there any difference in the weight or any? I haven't done any lift. Still running stock suspension.
@@soopafly887 Not sure if you have already purchased one. Take a look at this review. I am in the market for one too and probably will go for the 10S. According to the article 12S is only marginally better in terms of pull power due to greater power lose www.roundforge.com/articles/warn-vr-vs-warn-vr-evo-winch/
Its the same stuff I wear to fish or golf in. Columbia performace wear. I own a ton of these shirts for everyday wear. You could conceal the wires if you want to. I chose not to.
I'm going to end up removing the winch and loosening all the bumper mounting bolts in order to pull the bumper forward about 1/4 inch because when i put the winch on to the plate the back of the winch touches grill and i can't even slide a winch cover between them. Did you have the same issue? l have same bumper and same winch as yours.
@@c130aviator appreciate your response. I was wondering how far does it stick out from the grill. I'm considering this one and a Lod signature stubby bumper

Great job....
Great video. Need more videos. Been a while. Still in Guam?

Thanks. The wires are wrapped with a technique used to wrap and hold ignition wires on a v8 engine. Stay safe as well.
should have thrown a wrench on those bolts that go through the fairlead
Hey mate, where are your crush cans now??
Get ready to go to Church and work on the Jeep! Lol! Great video...

Did you know there is a locknut bolt you can get for the mounting bolts so its harder to steal your winch??
Could you have hidden the cables more?

How's the winch holding up? Any use from it? Why Warn instead of other brands? Is 12k overkill?

@@soopafly887 10 and 12 seem to be the same weight and dimensions. Only the gearing appears to change.
@@c130aviator thanks

Skid plate under the bumper. did you ever install one?
can you please share a link to the bumper that you have?
Dude you sure are dressed up for working on a Jeep! lol
Is it not possible to conceal all the wiring from view?
Its the same stuff I wear to fish or golf in. Columbia performace wear. I own a ton of these shirts for everyday wear.
You could conceal the wires if you want to. I chose not to.
That's funny, I was thinking the same thing about how dressed up he is to work on a jeep.
did you have to take the bull bar to get the Warn winch into the bumper??
No it fit
What model is the wireless remote
Vr evo 10s

Yes its tight but I haven't had a chance to mess with it.
I had to add 1/2” spacer and it’s still tight.
Bumper install video here. ua-cam.com/video/BfJBtAuzulU/v-deo.html
By any chance do you know the dimensions on the rugged ridge bumper? Can't find anything on it 😕
I know the dimensions were small enough for me to ship it to guam thru usps. Weighs about 35 lbs or roundabout. What dimensions are you looking for?

@@jonnyfsilvers check out my bumper install vid. It might show you more.
