ADD Stealth Fighter Winch Bumper Installed

[StezenW]

Finally pulled the trigger on this bumper a few weeks ago, and on Black Friday finally had accumulated all the accessories for it and had some help available to install.

Pretty straight forward install. I mounted the winch control box under the hood for easy access, so routing all the winch lines down from there a challenge for sure. As is getting the bumper perfectly even across the lower fascia, but once it’s dialed in it’s set.

The fog lights are Rigid SAE Yellow 6” SR series. The light bar I went with a Rough Country is a 40” curved Black Series with a daytime running light feature that is ignition switched. I have always liked Rough Country’s products and the price point and DRL feature really sell it for me.

This bumper comes with a winch plate that sits in between the frame horns. I went with a Smittybilt X20 12k Synthetic winch with a Factor 55 Flatlink E fairlead (in red of course).

Could not be happier with how it turned out. Very much recommend anyone looking into ADD products.

Looks great and I want one. Just torn between this and the ARB bumper.

Two totally different styles, but both are very nice.

I get it, the ARB is slick too. ARB always put out quality. Different looks but I have the Stealth and the build quality is superb and has a great pre runner look to it. Nice lines and the powder coat seems fantastic so far. With a 40 inch RIGID radiance light bar it looks amazing and when you need that light it comes up in spades.

Thank you sir! I got it from an eBay seller called 21 Motorsports for $2147 w/ free shipping. Not 3 days later it was being unloaded from a freight carrier into my driveway, so there was no lead time. Still cannot get over how fast it got to me, I've had Amazon deliveries take longer.

I went with pricey Rigid fog lights ($420) and middle tier Rough Country light bar ($300) for the center. The winch is a Smittybilt X20 Synthetic 12k lbs. The red winch shackle is from Factor 55.

Where did you relocate the winch control at ? I installed the whole winch in that one spot and the only way to use it is the wireless remote

I reached out to 589 Fabrication and asked them to sell me this control box bracket that comes with their hidden winch mount system. It relocates the control box to the engine bay next to the battery. Check out page 9 on this instruction PDF.

Thinking about it now, that wouldn’t even help me . I’m more concerned about the free spooling of the winch, the bumper makes it totally impossible to reach in there. I do love it though

Late reply but this is an impressive truck and install. Wow!!

 

[StezenW]

Thanks! Still running strong after many dirt miles.

How do you turn your free spool on and off?
