So I just ordered a Rugged Ridge Arcu front bumper and picked up a Harbor Freight Badlands 12000 with synthetic rope for a good price. In Texas have to run front plate. Anyone know what kind of holder would work with the Arcus bumper. Also is there any other parts that I might need to get to go along with the bumper and winch.

I went with the Tuffy ( Tuffy Flip-Up License Plate Holder for Winch W/Hawse Fairlead 01-Black https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N4AKOEB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZFRVW4W8FPMY8Z3TDF2A ), but I would go with the Cascadia 4x4 Flipster if I did it again.

Edit: Here’s a pic.

Am curious any issues getting the front grill off after installing bumper and winch. I saw someone posted at quadratic that you can't get the grill off after you install them.
That Cascadia looks nice

Yeah, no go for me. Need to remove the bumper skin to remove the winch in order to get to the grille. Hell, I need to remove the bumper skin just to get to the fair lead.

100% yes to that, in my experience. I did my Oracle Oculus before.

If you don't mind me asking what Yellow fog pods are you running. I was looking at the DD SS3. They have a Pro, Sport and Max or I could maybe just change out the bulbs with the Yellow Allah I got from Amazon

They are the DD SS3 sport. Works great for me. Good value for the price.

The grill is 3 min to pop out. It's a non issue. Even with a winch you can get it out.

Probably depends on the bumper/winch. I have the Arcus and Evo 10s and the grille cannot be removed without removing the bumper cover and the winch. I have heard of someone with this setup loosening the winch bolts and rocking it forward to remove the grille, but that hasn’t worked for me.

I've taken it out to change the bulbs so was just trying to see as have seen some who said once you install the Arcus and a winch it doesn't come off

I have a Hawse since I run synthetic line. If you use a roller, there are mounts that snap onto the roller fairlead.

ok was just curious as the Harbor Freight Badlands has the Hawse. Getting ready to order the Cascadia 4x4 flipster. That is a nice holder
