TJM Finally Installed

Finally got my TJM T15 installed late this afternoon. Everything went fairly smooth w/ the exception of a bent bracket and finding a couple of bolts.
Now I just have to find someone to swap a M8000 for my X8000i and I will be set!

Thanks guys! Its hard to tell from the pic, but I painted it w/ single stage black to give it some more gloss. The "powdercoat" was faded quite a bit and I thought I would try something different.
BTW I really don't think these bumpers come "powdercoated". It appears to me that they are painted with some type of acrylic enamel.
Just my two "sense".

I'm pretty sure they are powder coated. I tried to strip mine down to bare metal with a sandblaster and although it scratches easy, it is very hard to strip off.

You do know you'll have to remove the bumper again to install the winch, right?

Yes I know. I am trying to find someone to swap an "M" for my X8000i so I am not too worried about it right now.
