I thought they were the best looking option so it was worth the wait for me to get the look I wanted. Hardcore is quicker but I don't think they look as good as the Shrock stuff.

I really like hardcore's regular bumper, but they keep the same mounts for the body lift one and just make the bumper 2" taller. Ugly imo. Plus I don't care for their skid plate
Both or gtfo

Don't forget you can get 2" BL brackets and rad skid for their non BL plate bumper.

Do they do that? I think I knew for the brackets

Wow... I'm gonna have to really consider some sliders and a bumper as I've been procrastinating for months.... AAAAHHH That's a lot of dough at once but I plan to do both regardless so saving $$ is a good thing, right.

Holy crap, I'm fixing to order a front bumper, skids and an armor package. I don't think I've got the tools or space to put the bumper on myself, I'm sure I can handle the painting and install of the skids and sliders tho..
What's a ballpark if I were to have someone put the bumper on for me?

Good excuse to buy an engine hoist! Probably cheaper than labor. I used mine since I'm normally working alone.

Yeah, I know it won't be cheap. I could handle it altho now I'm in a condo that doesn't allow us to work on our cars. I've got air tools and everything, just don't have a place to put it on. I thought about trying to do it at work but if I were to run into problems or time, i'd be stuck on my own..

That sucks. I remember living in the apartment about 11 years ago. That sucked so bad but I had friends in the off-road club that had places to work and would lend a hand.

Bring it by the house. I did mine by myself in about 3hrs with a floor jack and hand tools.

Yeah if you aren't installing a winch at the same time, its a breeze. I just put mine on this spring, by myself as well (except for a few minutes when I had my wife position the bumper so I could put the bolts into the frame brackets). If you are thinking about installing a winch at some point, wait to do it at the same time. I didn't - I wanted that sucker on and couldn't wait, and then ended up taking it off a few months later to put the winch in.
If you guys do decide to install it some weekend let me know as well, I can stop by and help drink some beers - i mean lend a hand.

Yea, I'm beginning to think you're like superXman or something. *I read thru your build..well, it's like a novel so I'm not done yet..
I'll happily buy the house a bottle & spring for beers and food~
The whole reason for the bumper is I wanna winch.. After deciding that the 10% off from Shrockworks was enough to make me order several things I've been wanting for awhile, I then looked at the winches. I'm thinking of making a post to ask people with winches if they actually spent as much or more on the winch than they did the bumper.. I was looking at the Warns on the shrocks website and the cheapest one was lik $1200!! What gives? Where's the happy ground?..

FWIW I was able to help @thecoalition install his winch into the shrock while it was mounted to the truck. All it took was removing the grill.

That's how I did my winch on the hardcore bumper too

Yeah, you should be able to do it on the Hefty as well, it'd be tight fit to get it tightened down.
I mounted my control box for the winch in a remote location within the winch, so had to take it off to do that.

Engo is a good budget winch - I have the 9k synthetic. You can get the 9k steel for $330 or so.

I had an Engo on my old truck. It was garbage. Kept leaking water into the motor.

I think I'd have a hard time getting my Zeon in my bumper without pivoting it forward on the lower mounting bolts. I just installed the winch on the bumper then them together onto the X.

I was very gentle when trying to initially break the bolts loose, I believe I’m in the same hole of the riv-but breaking loose. Thinking about taking to dealer tomorrow depending on how long it would take, my X is still under warranty but it’s my DD so if the lead time is long i’ll remove headliner tomorrow morning
