Basically xbull 12000 xpv winch style housings= harbor freight apex winch and xbull xrs style housing = warn evo series 😅

[@JB-by8tw]

Lots of good knowledge at 10:00. Great stuff to consider! An alternative to the lift is the Westcott Designs preload collar front and back PLUS a Bilstein B12 spring in the front. The Bilstein spring is made for that extra 140 lbs from the stealth bumper and winch. I have a 2018 TRD Pro with 6112 Bilstein in front and 5160 Bilsteins in the back.

[@AZOverland2017]

Thanks for the comment. I originally considered Westcott as they are a 20 minute drive from me

[@johnbeasley1688]

I have purchased that bumper. I have an old school badlands 9000 winch. I am concerned about the access I will have to operate the free spool lever and attach the control cable. I was hoping you would show that after completion.

[@AZOverland2017]

Sorry about that! I will probably show that a bit more clearly on a future video. Check the next video out in the series (link below) where you can see me engage the winch. While it doesn't give a close up shot, it may give you a better idea kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmSwpqt-bLSnsLc

[@2-old-Forthischet]

Does that custom bumper attach to the original mounting location of the factory bumper?

[@AZOverland2017]

Yes, it is a direct fit for the 5th Gens

[@Grimdegn]

Nice vid! Any idea if a similar setup can be installed on a 3rd gen Tacoma?

[@AZOverland2017]

Yes, there are so many different setups that can be done for the Taco

[@scotte.4624]

Wanna help me with mine? LOL I'm in AZ too

[@AZOverland2017]

Where in AZ? What kind of bumper?

[@scotte.4624]

@@AZOverland2017 Body Armor 4x4 Hiline Series, bought the 21 4Runner ORP with 24K miles on it, previous owner took all his lights with him and left me with a 150lbs bumper and Winch with no light lol. I'm in South Phoenix, 7th Ave and Southern Ave. I pull security for the property there.

[@AZOverland2017]

@@scotte.4624 Is the bumper on now or does it need to be installed? I could possibly help with the install if you are not in a rush. I have a few things still to do on mine first.

[@scotte.4624]

@@AZOverland2017 it's already installed, I have a lightbar to replace the one he took out. It's just a matter of tracking down the right help with the knowledge and know-how, and of course - the tools lol I already the cable and wire-work done, it's taking off the bumper and winch to get the lightbar on is where I'm having issues.

@@scotte.4624 Ok cool. Reach out to me at the end of the month if you still need help and I'll see where I'm at.

Hah, where are we going on vacation next?

[@AZOverland2017]

Ready when you are. Up North?

[@Thezellofamily]

@AZ Overland Don't own any winter clothes that could handle the cold right now. Maybe this spring. Definitely this summer. Hopefully, we don't need your new winch but we'll see how Jolene handles those roads up there. Lol

[@InGratitudeIam]

Nice! Love the tag line!

[@westernefficientenergy902]

I was wondering when you were going to install the winch. Nice job

[@AZOverland2017]

Me too. Install is not bad, it's finding the extra time to film it

[@thesecondhalf5823]

Great vid. I see what you did with that video title....:)

[@AZOverland2017]

I'm glad you got it!

[@terry2855]

Great video! How would you go about mounting the front license plate if needed?

[@AZOverland2017]

Thank you. I didn't really take that into consideration since we don't need front plates here. But I suppose if needed, I would mount it offset on the grill

[@terry2855]

@@AZOverland2017 that’s one nice thing about living in AZ, not requiring a front license plate. I live in Texas where a front license is required.

[@tacoma_jon]

I recently had the same winch installed. Bad thing is I didn’t get the serial number off of it to register it. Looks like it’s in a spot that’s not easy to see so I’ll have to tear some things apart to get to it 😢😢😂😂

[@AZOverland2017]

I'm happy I have my paperwork still. Good luck!

[@tacoma_jon]

@@AZOverland2017 I do too. Couldn’t find it on the paperwork. 🤔🤔

[@AZOverland2017]

@@tacoma_jon I don't see it on the paperwork either. It is on the side of the box. I'm assuming you don't have the box? I would call and ask them. Maybe if you provide proof of purchase they can register it for you somehow

[@tacoma_jon]

@@AZOverland2017 yeah no box. Thanks for confirming it’s not on the paperwork, I thought I was going crazy lol

[@ebikesandstuff1475]

Well done. Looks solid

I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching!

Great video!
