New winch =)

Well for Xmas my parents got me a new smitty built xrc8 winch that has been sitting in my garage since....I finally ordered a TG winch mount like 2 weeks ago which sat for a few days until i finally put it on today =) Had to ditch the stock bumper but it still looks good let me know what you guys think....simple bolt on install easy to wire just had to trim the grill to make it fit nice...PICS!









Took it for a test run and winched my self through a mud hole no pics though sorry

Nice, now buy a cover so salt doesn't get it. Those are supposed to be really good winches.

Those tires look veeeeeery wide, is it just the picture or do you have really wide rims?
