Warn Winch Bumper installed

[LandCruiserSteve]

Ordered the Warn winch bumper and M8000 from gowarn.com and installed it last weekend.

Heavy sucker, and thank heavens for the 886 (heavy) OME front suspension to support it.

I installed the winch solenoid box under the hood behind the the main fuse box.

Good job and great idea on the solenoid. I like the looks of the WARN bumper.... Was wondering about the skid plate? It does come with one I am assuming? I noted that the replacement skid that came with the ARB looks rather cheap and flimsy. If no skid plate is installed I noticed on one guys vehicle with a OME lift, that the radiator is exposed....

Thanks, LC4Life.

The Warn bumper adapts perfectly to the existing FJC's skid plate. Warn did their homework on the underside design so it looks like the bottom of the bumper and the factory skid plate all flow together as one.

That looks amazing and the Warn winch solenoid looks almost OEM and at home where you placed it. Great job!

 

[LandCruisers4Life]

Yeah that solenoid placement looks great. It's another thing I really like about this new Cruiser - plenty of under hood space to put more junk, just like the old 40. I plan on putting a dual battery set up in mine and ARB compressor for dual ARB air lockers over on the left side. Plenty of room

Are ya going to put in a second battery? I just ordered the kit from Dirty Parts, it should be in today. I will let ya know how it looks.

Not too shabby...now I want to see what they come up with for the rear bumper!

 

[LandCruisers4Life]

Yeah, I was somewhat dissapointed in the ARB rear bumper. I expected a LOT better from ARB on that. Especially given their long history of off road upgrades for Land Cruisers.

I have all the ARB mods, But the rear bumper. Their offer has no notch for larger than 31" tires. So I'm going with Demello's product.

Nice looking install but damn that rig looks too clean. Has it seen a trail yet???

 

[rfjtoy]

Yes.

DeMelllo has a rear bumper?
