Thought I would post a couple photos of how the ASFIR front skid works with a Warn bumper for those that are considering this combo.
The Warn bumper makes contact with the top surface of the tow loops and makes them nearly unusable, which isn't an issue because the warn has beefier integrated tow points.
Adding the ASFIR on and the top edge of the ASFIR plate makes contact with the underside of the tow loops. At first glance I was concerned that the loops were preventing the forward most bolts securing the plate from being fully tightened down but this is not the case. After tightening the screws, the backside of the ASFIR makes solid contact with the Broncos mounting point. I may cut a small circle of material off the skid just to prevent this contact and rubbing. I would have done that with the Warn but I didn't want to compromise the powder coating on the steel Warn bumper and risk having the bumper rust. This isn't a concern with the aluminum ASFIR plate.
Bought a full set of the ASFIR plates and have only installed the front skid but I would not hesitate to recommend these plates. They are super beefy and well designed and made.
Shipping was shockingly fast- came faster from Israel than most domestic US packages do. I always thought DHL was second or third rate compared to UPS and FedEx, but my opinion has changed at least when it comes to their expedited service.
Customer support is first rate as well with ASFIR- very fast and helpful response to any questions.
