well... now I know what to do if I want to upgrade my bumper to a winch. I might remove the 2" receiver though if I do it (dont use it anyways). You should get some closer pics.

It looks amazing. Props.

I set out getting a non winch rigid because I wanted this. Thanks!

I was planning on removing the receiver hitch, but if you look at the second pic, you can see that it adds a lot of strength to the bumper mounting. Rigid doesn't mount their bumpers like everyone else. Terry's system has you bolting plates to the frame and bulkhead, then bolting the bumper to them. If I had removed the receiver, technically I'd only have 4 bolts holding the entire bumper on. Other companies weld their frame plates to the bumper, which makes them a bit stronger.

In the long run, maybe I'll cover up the receiver hole to make it look better, but at this point I can actually still use it if I really needed to.


And yeah, I'll have to get some better pics. I only had my phone handy and kept forgetting to take pics. I love the way it looks and I'm so glad I don't have a giant winch bumper sticking way out in the front.
