Winch Bumper

I just put in the order for one of Scotty's winch bumpers from Addicted today! Should have it installed by Thursday. Will have pics posted by the weekend hopefully

Since there is a lack of photos in this thread, I figured I would post one.

Thanks Scotty! Left some beer for the guy who fixed my seat bracket too.

Your left front tire is backwards bud. So I'm assuming there's another one backwards too. Those are directional tires lol. Nice bumper though!

cut and paste from the ProComp website:
Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain Radial
Part Number: 561285

* LT285/75R16, Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain Radial
* Load Range D
* Max Load 3305
* Tread Depth 20/32
* Overall Diameter 32.8
* Black Sidewall
* Non Directional Tire
* 40,000 Mile Tread Wear Warranty.

Rest assured I will be contacting BigO and ProComp to confirm that they are or are not directionals, thanks for pointing it out. I probly would've never noticed or thought twice about it.

nice catch on those tires Andrewb1369n. I agree though, The middle two lugs are like this \ / if they were like this / / then I would say no. Maybe a typo on their site I guess.

But some mud tires have been know to grip better in at least mud when going in the opposite direction. Boggers come to mind.

Thanks xtreme. If you look on the sidewall they should have an arrow somewhere showing you which way should be facing forward. I like those for ATs by the way. Good tire.

No arrow for direction of travel on the tires. On the website it doesnt say that these tires are directional until you get to 37'' and bigger. So either there is a typo on every tire size under 37 or there is a different tire construction between the tire sizes.

Edit: seems every tire size other than mine is classified as directional. I have contacted procomp (via email since its the weekend), waiting for a reply. Seems like they should be directional, they are not any different than the other sizes, but it the way the online description is written it seems like it is on purpose, that it wasnt just a simple typo. The thing that confuses me is that there is no arrow for rotation direction, I remember my roommate had some X-Terrains that had the arrow on them?
