Finally had a chance to get this installed. Can’t stress enough how stout this thing is.
Edit: a picture would admittedly be great here, but my phone ain’t havin it right now. Hang tight…

That thing looks FANTASTIC!!! And what I can see of your rig looks great too! How much does that bumper weigh by itself? And you got it from @OPMACHINE? I like that it looks more like a factory bumper. That's how they should have come straight from Toyota. Very nice. If I had not already bought the CCOT HFS Winch bumper, I'd buy one like yours. Speaking of which, mine (all 58 pounds of it) arrived 2 weeks ago and UPS had damaged it. Even though it was wrapped in padding before being placed in the box, one of the pieces that the D rings attach too had come through the cardboard and along its journey had rubbed the powder coating off, so I had to send it back. CCOT was great about it and quickly shipped a replacement, and UPS LOST IT!!! They shipped it to the east coast, then after days of it being lost it turned up on the west coast in California! So my bumper has had a coast to coast and back again tour of the United States! Supposedly it is going to arrive today, but with all that travel I'll be surprised if it's not messed up again. "IF" it is, maybe I'll just ask for a refund and get one like yours.

Since the back / rear cross member is black with the bumperettes being pewter, I decided to go with a black front winch bumper with the D rings and fairlead pewter to kind of match the look of the rear.
I went back and forth myself. Personally glad I went with pewter, but darn the black looks proper too.
I’ve had a couple from CCOT, and the build quality just doesn’t compare. You won’t be disappointed

My CCOT HFS Winch bumper arrived yesterday and I think you could run over it with a tank and not bend it. 58 pounds.
OP, Following for the next time you run a batch. If you have one laying around, bare or not, keep me in mind.
Make that 2!

I noticed that yours don't have the shackle mounts that are on the bumper @Polecat posted. Any idea what the current design is? I asked about having holes drilled for the license plate frame and he said that was easy. (I'd like them to do it before powder coating.)
AFAIK @OPMACHINE makes them both with and without clevis hook d-rings, allowing you to choose (pending availability). Tagging his so he can correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, you can spec with or without shackle

Great, I really like the look. Does your hook naturally set that way on your fairlead or is there a trick?
BTW, I noticed the Civic in your sig. I have a '93 Si.

The hook falls into place like that when the winch line is pulled in

My Si is Black with black/gray interior. I bought it new. It's still in great shape and super fun to drive.

VERY NICE! As previously mentioned, I wish I had known about these before I bought my CCOT HFS Front Winch Bumper. If I win the lottery and get a 2nd FJ40, I'm going to get one of these.
