Yep. OME Heavies (front & rear). However, I've since changed over to the All-Pro front bumper due to some fitment problems that arose on the Warn.

Steve, what fitment problems did you have with the Warn front bumper?

Warn winch bumper owners - Q??

Thank you. The Warn winch is off my list. I will keep looking and since I have decided to go with a VIAIR compressor, I don't need the compressor on the winch or the added cost.

I hope my particular situation didn't set you (or anyone else) sour on the Warn bumper. It's still one very fine piece of aftermarket equipment for the FJ, and I really regret not being able to keep it.

It just so happened that a very small number of FJs (including mine) have difficulty matching the extremely close fitment tolerances of the Warn bumper.

I commend the customer service people at Warn for doing their very best to correct this problem for me . . . . up to and including, buying the bumper back from me with a full refund after conceding the problem with my particular FJ couldn't be addressed to my satisfaction.

Customer service like that, combined with an otherwise very high-quality product, is an example of what we need to see in more companies out there.
