Is seeing a winch on the front of your rig that much of a problem?

Frank,
Hmmm....? BK is just the color denotation before the finish number. Pretty universal.
Did he go through all of the PC's with you and explain durability and finishes?
Can't wait to see another convert.
 I feel like a religious leader.

I'm not so sure I want my center caps on. Since I am a die-hard cult follower of you DRTY I feel the only way to truly become one with the master is to leave mine off as you have done .
I never much liked the cheap ass plastic caps anyway.

Those look great!!! Now for your center caps...
If you have access to a small bead blaster then lightly blast the caps. Clean them thoroughly and rattle-can them with a primer designed specifically for plastic. Amazingly, the primer that was recommended was white??? It works great though. If you can, bring your wheel into the store and ask for the closest possible match. Home Depot is a really great place to find the spray paint.

I got them on Ebay. I may have gotten lucky since most of the sets that are even $100 have a hefty shipping cost. I saw a set the other day for $80 plus $35 to ship which is a damn good deal as well. Just search for H2 wheels.

I think I have developed A.D.D. so I will ask the question again since reading back I didn't understand a damn thing.
Will that work for the Warn 9000ti whatever winch? I would hate to have to buy another winch since I just got this one.

Like you do with any other winch- unwind it and start over.
I'm pushing for us to use synthetic rope so we can use the Haas(sp?) fairlead. I've found some 3/8" rope that's rated to 20,000lbs.

Hey DRTY, what do you think you will charge for the new work of art?

I have the cradle with a Warn 9500Ti and it is sort of unsightly. From an offroading perspective, it's a major liability. Approach angle is seriously handicapped and I'm always worrying about damaging the fairlead rollers, winch or cradle extension when 4xing. On the Rubicon I passed on a few obstacles because of it.
This bumper will not only allow you to use a 12,000lbs winch without compromising the approach angle of the H2, but it looks good, too.
To be honest, when we first started the project I wasn't going to keep the bumper on my rig after we were done. But after seeing how great the final product turned out I can't wait to have one.

Super-sweet Drty.....almost to the point of "where's the winch???"!!!!
Some nice under-belly sliders and extended rock-rails would be sweet too!

Not sure yet. We're trying to work out a deal with MileMarker for the winches and GM for the bumpers.
I'll post on the price soon.

It only extends out from the stock bumper about 2 1/2".

DRTY I am hoping my rims will be done today, the guy said he would work on them through the weekend so hopefully they will be finished.
I had to pick my own shade of black cause that BK number didn't help him at all. He said he would need the universal AR number for the paint color cause he didn't know what brand of paint your guy used to get that number. I think I picked a more flat finish but hell if I remember. I will post pics and the AR number today if I get them.
