ORF bumper+ Milemarker 10500# 2speed winch = NO
again very improtant NOTE:
Milemarker Hyd winch does not fit in ORF bumper!
The motor is too long.
I am so depressed now. They sent the wrong directions (recieved directions for an 07 wrangler) with the bumper so I got to figure the puzzle out and it is actually a 6 piece bumper not 3 as has been previously stated by others. The bumper does reinforce the frame outside the steering box which is good, but the winch cradle is held in place by 4 small bolts and 2 larger ones which I am not too crazy about.
On a positive note; If you forget to tighten the bolts holding on your steering box, it cures death wobble. The steering, however becomes a little vague.
I may end up taking a torch to it and offsetting the winch mounting holes about an inch, or I may call up the company that sold it and mention that they should not sell the 2 together as though they would fit.
You also will not be able to fit a WARN XD series or equivalent because the winch mounts diagonally in the cradle.
