SmittyBilt XRC10 Install to a ARB (1 Viewer)

[mtullis]

Just a heads up that a Smittybilt XCR10 winch in a ARB bumper will work. With two small spacer (1/2"X1"X6).
The guy at 4wp told me I would have to cut a hole in my bumper (wrong) so I could turn the lever to freewheel it.
Here is a couple pic of the install.

A good thread on the Smittybilt 8000 old model and new model:
SMITTYBILT XRC8 Winch arrived today... details, pictures, etc... - JeepForum.com

It mostly talks about the 8K but a good resource for hands on experience on the Smitty winch brand.
From what I remember reading that long thread, the new model contains T-Max parts vs the old with Mile Marker's.

I dont know why yours needed spacers mine didnt? I have the same winch? and arb bar?

FYI any one thinking about buying one of these winched should plan on buying a cable with them, the supplied cables are crap and unsafe, just add it in when you buy the winch

Mine will bolt up wtihout the spacers, but it hits the bumper on the left and right sides.

[concretejungle]

that looks like a rebadged t-max. My T-max hit in the exact same places.... but so did my roommates warn.

 

[azrider]

There you go again, not reading. Both of our post counts are above 200 (maybe you should of picked a different # huh?). I just might have to start padding my post count, you know, comment on everything, and of course my own little "How To's". Some ideas I have are: How to top off your tank without spilling it over, 2 and 10-is this the best hand position , Booger concealment hidden compartment. I have lots of them in the works, and of course with tons of pictures. Stay tuned fellas!

I am especially interested in your "How to: Destroy the life of my front axle by jumping 15 foot off of a dune at SnT" - The long term effect specifically..

 

[azrider]

Uhhh, well I did replace the wheel bearings on the drivers front, could of been because of the dune jumping, or it could of been because i didnt adjust it right in the first place when I did my brakes. I doubt its because of the jumping though.
