I've used my XRC8 Comp series on 3 separate occasions now, 2 which were very hard pulls. No problems with it at all!

I hear ya on that point. From what i've read they are slow but reliable. One website was selling the xrc8 with synthetic line for $399; that's just nuts! I'll probably still pick up the summit 9k whenever they go on sale again for $405.Originally Posted by Seanz0rz

off topic but i saw a nice expensive warn winch in action a few weekends ago and yes the line speed is faster but fast is not a term to use with a winch pulling a load lol. line speed is deathly slow when weight is applied even to a warn. i think the xrc8 will change the winch industy toward less profit and greater value to the customer
Looks good. Are you using the switch that came with the light or are you using a factory toyota switch? Did she get you any color filters?
The lights will fit with the prerunner hoop. There are two different mounts for the lights. One is lower profile version that sets the lights lower down but you can't use the holes shrockworks puts into the bumper you'd have to move the hole over about an 1" to 1.5".
The mount you came up with was a good idea.

sean,
I would just weld 2 light tabs on the hoop, mount the 2 lights upside down. it doesn't effect the performance but that puts them behind the hoop. in case yo bump into some thing, they will be safe.

Oh sean, make sure you move that light bar bracket you made and put some kinda rubber or something behind it so it wont cause rust! I found out the hard way.

thought about that and here is why i didnt: the "breather" for the lights is on the back of the arm, and points down when installed upright. if i installed them upside down, now they will catch all the water and dirt, etc that i see on and offroad. it would just pool in there and not allow the light to breath through the goretex filter, and that stuff would probably work its way in eventually.Originally Posted by 2ndGen
i had considered getting the low pro mounts, but upon further inspection, even then the lights would not clear the bar, i would have to, like you said, drill new holes in the bumper. with a winch in the bumper, there isnt alot of room to install there anyway, so i decided against it.
i also considered welding tabs to the hoop to mount them upright on top of the hoop. but then it makes engine access even harder than it is now.
as for rust, the bumper was covered in heavy rust primer (it was nearly bare metal, just some tiny surface rust starting) and 2 very thick coats of rustoleum hammered paint. ive been fighting rust on the truck for a while, but its nothing like what you gents have on the east coast.

Mine rusted sean cause I had it on the chrome bumper and the water got trapped between it.
Since I routinely change honda civic batteries and they have this nice 1/8 thick rubber pad I always keep I cut one up and glued it on using some superglue. Only rust was around the holes then.
