30 minute job left to finish wiring last few inches to the battery for my ARB Twin Compressor under the passenger seat (wires were only about six inches short or reaching battery terminals). Wire cutters, little shrink wrap and solder, no problem. 5 hours, many more tools later, I learned my way of wiring it was a lot more complicated than ARB's. I credit that to ARB's lousy wiring diagram, which gave no clue how to actually turn on the compressors. Finally found out online in a Jeep forum: Route the purple wire to an aux power switch, all good.

How did you remove the the Jeep logo?

Dental floss, then some heat to remove the remaining tape/residue. The new emblem covers the factory alignment holes.

Are you able to use the mirrors when driving at highway speeds?

I don't know, only had it up to about 50 mph so far

It seems to be quite strong and well designed. Fit with the Zeon series winches is quite tight. As I alluded, Rock Hard does warn it probably shouldn't, but may require a bit of grinding. I'm still puzzling out the skid plate/air dam that I removed along with the plastic bumper. Apparently that doesn't work with the steel bumper. Go figure. Not sure how having the Rock Hard winch plate will affect that. Was reading a thread here last night and it had a lot of contradictory statements as to what parts fit and work, etc.

Completed the Winch install with the Hard Rock Winch Plate... Again, Appreciate the feedback on the plate.
Overall the quality of the plate is good, and having the added brackets that attach to the frame, like the Mopar Plate, definitely improves the strength.
I wish they had moved the Winch Mounting Holes a 1/2 inch forward. *Needed just a little more room between the Controller Unit and the Grille, and there is plenty of room towards the front of the bumper.
The factory steel skid plate went back on with no issues...

Installed the 12K Smittybilt with Braided Synthetic Cable and Wireless controller.
I got a great price thanks to the call out from Members on the Forum.. *I wish the Fairlead was black.

Trimmed the Plastic Filler to complete the install.. Added some moly trim where I made the cuts...
