Did you upgrade your springs? 3.75? If I recall correctly, you have spacers installed right? Plus a leveling kit I imagine? I want the same bumper but I will probably upgrade my front springs with beefyer eibachs. I have the standard ones that came with the Fox 2.5 DSC setup. It will sag too much with these.
I've got the Eibach ProTruck kit installed with springs and struts up front. The struts have grooves and inserts that lock into the grooves for setting your lift height before installation. You can end up with a variety of lift heights depending on if you use your factory springs or the Eibach springs and the positions of the inserts in the grooves. No spacers needed! I've got the Eibach shocks out back with an Autospring add-a-leaf kit installed. It rides a little stiff over bumps but supports the load out back without issue. This truck seems to be preforming very nicely off-road on the past two trips with this setup installed.

Thanks. Do you have room to switch the winch in to free spool?
Yep, probably even more room than on any of the ARB bumpers I've ever own. Just reach right through the front grill.

Finished the install of the Shrockworks winch mount bumper. Instructions are very vague. I was able to install without taking the bumper off. Used most of the OEM hardware. If you have the from parking sensors and adaptive cruise, you will have to either drill a hole in the top of the new piece or epoxy a retainer to keep the wire harness off the winch line. I used a WARN EVO 10S and it is very tight. The wires have to get protected against rubbing on the lower grill surround support brackets. The piece doesn't fit exactly flush, good enough

Recently stumbled across a Hybrid bumper of Winch / Baja styles, unfortunately it’s only for Tacoma’s. However after talking to him, all he’s missing is a Ranger in Colorado to get started (; with all the rendering and measurements anyone in Colorado willing to help and finally get us a SLICK bumper? Just love the styling of how it doesn’t stick out a ton, increasing approach angles and creating a seamless look to the front of the truck!

I emailed these guys and will call soon. I told them I'd come out to Colorado for free... make a vacation of it. This is literally the only design I like. I want the tube pre-runner style design.

Coming soon. Prototype should be done in a week and a half, then mounting and some testing. Winch capable, wire management tabs/light mounting points included, modular 3 piece design, retains parking sensors and tow hooks, relocated ACC, gussets for strength. And that's just the stage 1.

Did you ever finish your prototype?

Looks great!

Did you use the Shrockworks ACC relocation bracket or someone else's?

I used the ADD relocation bracket, but having a problem with it staying adjusted. The thin piece of plastic it mounts to is very flexible. Just came back from a trip, the trouble it is giving me is on curves, especially to the left. If passing another vehicle in the right lane next to you, it wants to pick up that vehicle. The dealership said the bracket may be too heavy for the location and may need to figure out a way to support it better.
