All-Pro Bumper and Warn M8000 Install (High Pic Count)

[PitBullCruiser]

I just wanted to let you know that your instructions were SO helpful during the install of my AP bumper! The control box for the Smittybilt XRC8 winch had to be modified a bit but without your detailed instructions, it definitely would've taken 9+ hours as opposed to 5 hours. Thanks again for a great thread!

Thanks for posting the pix!!!!

Was indeed very helpful for my DO bumper install/ OEM bumper removal part!

Curious to see how others secured the trimmed inner fenders so they look and fit nice...................... Thats the only part i'm not happy with after the install

Hi, Did you have to upgrade your suspension also or did the new bumper have no affect?? thanks in advance

BTW Great job and good details!!

I haven't changed my suspension yet. The bumper without a winch doesn't produce any noticeable sag. Throw on another 75lbs (or more if you don't use synthetic winch line) and some sag is evident. I'm $aving for a "nice" coil-over suspension, but I've been running this bumper with a winch for over a year on the stock suspension.
