Bull Bar + 12000lbs winch on 2004 100 questions..

[Jim_Chow]

I don't know about the lamp specs but I'll try to find out for you.. The sticker was in the box and not on the bumper.. so they attached it after the paint job I guess..

Oh, I see. When I got a different (standar ARB non-airbag winchbar), the bar was black, and the sticker already attached.

What I'm particularly interested in the IPF fog is the size and mount. Most aftermarket ones either are designed to mount in holes (like the ones on your bar) or they have a flat metal tab w/ a couple of holes in them that are screwed into a hole in a bumper. But since it appears that IPF fog attaches to that plastic lighting insert, I'm not sure. It would be interesting to see if somehow one could fit a HID fog/low beam in there. At least it would be useful.

HID would be really cool looking but I don't think an HID setup would be useful for foggy conditions, on the contrary, it will reduce visibility even more.. yellow light is very useful for fog.. I'm trying to find a yellow replacement bulb for the IPF fog lights I have..

btw.. about the sticker I assumed that it was inside the box not on the bumper.. they either removed it and reattached it neatly.. or they have spare ones lying around..

Or, they put a piece of tape over it, painted the bumper, then pulled the tape off.

Is anyone concerned about mounting the M12000 winch feet down instead of feet forward? The earlier (98 - 02) combo bar has a "feet down" mount. (I am not sure about the Sahara Bar or the 03-on combo bar.)

Warn specifically states in their installation manual to only mount the M12000 feet forward.

What do you guys running the M12000 think?

Thanks,

Mike

No one else is running a 12,000 pound winch! You need at least 16,000!!!! j/k







Also you better double check your mechanics work!





I think it'll be fine if you are in doubt you can use the two front holes on the winch. We can drill 2 holes on the bumper to the two holes on the winch so you will have 4 mounting bolts on the bottom and 2 on the front.
