Bolted all the pieces together and added the winch on. The way this is set up, it would be pretty difficult to steal the winch as the bolts would be a challenge to access once the bumper is installed.
Bumper went on easily and the skid plate went on directly after. The LOD skid plate that integrates with the shorty bumper had several pre-drilled holes meant to line up with my 2012's subframe and it mostly did. I added a few of my own holes in locations that were sturdy and used some stainless hardware we had lying around and mounted it right up. The skid is substantial inspires confidence.
Off came the steel cable!
Added synthetic line and we're in business! Here is my final product after a good afternoon of install. Thanks to my buddies for helping me through this one. It was my first "real" mod on my 2012 Rubicon and I'm super pleased with the outcome.
