Yeah I’m not worried about the mounting holes. Just wondering if the winch will actually fit inside of the bumper?

i imagine any winch would fit as tehy all seem to come with the standard winch bolt holes now a days. i'm putting a HF badland in mine when it gets here.

Installed the MTO today. Only issue is It will not move towards the driver side any farther. Not too noticeable I suppose. Also installed an older XD900i winch I had lying around. Will finish running winch wires this weekend or when my bumper light get here.

What winch are you going with?
I have a RPG perch collar kit coming to level the front end and help with the added weight of the bumper.
My plan is to order the same bumper with a Badlands Apex winch. I was am also planning to get the dual row led light bar.

or say screw it and after the perch collars are installed scrap the bumper and winch plan and get 37's?

i am also doing the badlands apex winch, but i am going to probably relocate the controller to under hood. so all in all winch and bumper should weigh about 180lbs.

For a light bar i was going to install https://extremeledlightbars.com/super-stealth-20-led-light-bar-combo-spot-and-flood
i may spring and get a BD s8 20in but probably the above light for now as the light is mostly to fill the hole, and i dont see myself using it as much as my ditch lights here in TX.

i'm not planning on the perch collars yet, but if you go that route load some pics to show the difference. i'll take before and after measurements as well to see how much the front end will sag with that weight. my 2 door SAS is pretty level right now

Will do, the kit should be here any day. Whether I go bumper / winch or the 37's I will need the perch collars regardless.

The worst part of the install was the removing of the sensors from the factory bumper. About 3 1/2-4 hours total. Floor jack was a big help.

DV8 said they are working on a dual elite 20" light bar that should be available soon. Should be a decent price.

for me its mostly looks. i didnt like the looks of the lightbars they had on their website. so i found that stealth black one with the bigger single lights

I like the rigid midnight because it hides so well but so expensive.

same. did you look at the one i posted above? its very similar to the midnight since its black on black. i cant talk about how well it will perform yet. it is allegedly 13k lumen, but like i said above i'm mostly using it to fill the hole in bumper as i will be using my SAE ditch lights for the Tx deer.

i saw one dude here on the forum mentioned he used them before and never had any issues, and that was how i found out about the brand. I know they had good reviews on their website and a quick google gave me this 4runner forum thread talking about them https://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/248690-extreme-led.html

they seem on the up and up and offer a lifetime warranty and a 30 day return policy

Looks great. What are your impressions of the quality of the bumper?

It arrived in some crazy good packaging. Looks great finish was nice all welds looked decent. It went together easy and all the right hardware was provided. Other than I can't get it to move more to the drivers side I am happy with the fit and finish. For all I know it could be something to do with my buggy. For the money very pleased.
