    If this is a 12K winch, I'll be interested to watch it go in. I installed a 12K China winch in mine, and it was *super* tight. Had to do some creative things with the grill to get the winch up and in. It went in, but took some head scratching.

    I'm trusting what they say will fit. Per them - they designed their BLITZ bumper to accept the ZEON 12 S.

    2/23/21 The build is AWP(;)). So, appointments are set(tint & ceramic coat) to have the windshield and two front windows done(all the same tint - more a UV blocker than tint). Window tint cancelled. < now that's a story:rolleyes:

    Edit: Decided to have the front clip, mirrors, door handle cups & lower back hatch painted surface wrapped in XPEL prior to it being ceramic coated. Trying to keep it clean and looking fresh for as long as possible ;)

    Ready for pickup from wrap & ceramic coat - 8am March 19 :D

    Window tint to be rescheduled(once a suitable shop is found).

    Thought it was time to have accurate weights and measurements before we start affixing anymore mods.

    Toyota's numbers: Curb weight 4,750 LBS / GVWR 6,300 LBS

    Moon Landing numbers: with 1/2 tank fuel, sliders(guesstimated combined weight - 150 ponds), & OEM spare in place. (unoccupied)

    Scaled weight.
    Front - 2,580
    Rear - 2,240
    Total - 4,820


    Height from axle center to wheel arch.
    FRONT - 20 7/8” both sides
    REAR - 22 1/2” both sides

    On the way to the scale house this morning.

    You might want to check out this for your Ultra Swing! Think Rago had a sale $$ going on 40% off

    don’t own one, but been thinking about purchasing one, so I can use it on other vehicles.

    Your T4R is looking nice!

    Thanks for the heads up. I've just about used up all the realestate on the ultra swing. Once mounted I'd like to attach an ammo box, or similar, to carry the 3 heavy ass winch blocks I'll likely never need. lol

    And thank you for your kind comment. She's got a way to go.

    Friday we picked it up after having the XPEL wrap and ceramic coating done(above). That afternoon we installed the RIGd swing out and accessories(above). Also ordered a fifth grappler which was mounted on the new wheel(above) this AM and is now mounted on the swing out.

    So the backup camera needs to be relocated and a license plate light needs to be installed.

    As to the light - found this handy little guy and am going to use it to light the plate for now.......and, if it works well enough - it may stay? Only time and conditions will tell.

    https://www.amazon.com/Homebrite-WL...4CF52G7A0RVXC0NQY&refRID=28M4CF52G7A0RVXC0NQY

    Monday the BLITZ bumper and winch will be installed. It's nice to be making a little progress.;)

    Here ya go :hattip:

    Exploring the fuel carrying options that may be available(fabrication required) with the additional bicycle carrying mount RIGd adds to their swing out. Though my first choice is the missing spare tire cavity.
