I noticed that the very ends of the bumper would vibrate a bit when you went over bumps.  Toyota had the stock bumper attached at the very ends so I made some brackets out of 1" angle iron to hold the TJM bumper ends still and attached them to the factory mounts  for the stock bumper.

 The Warn M8000 controller box mounted up high under the hood.  This is my second controller box, my original one died from water damage when mounted in the bumper.  Mount it high!

Master Pull 5/16" by 100' line with Spidertrax Aluminum Fairlead.  My original steel line bit the dust quickly.
