In today’s episode, i swap out the factory plastic bumper for a factory steel bumper and install a Badlands 12k lb winch. Watch as I figure out the does and don’t of this install. The big Badlands winch is a very tight fit and requires some additional parts to make it align without modifying the steel bumper. While this video is less than a half hour long, the reality is it took multiple days waiting on parts to come in due to the auto strike.
