Yeah I've got one. They are a heavy piece of kit though, at around 70 kg all up (Bar, winch plate, grill hoop and skid plate). So with a winch it's around 110 kg hanging off of the nose. The AEV springs have coped well with it though.
The Warn powdercoating is pretty average and I've had mine recoated. I wasn't happy with the attention that the forward sweep of the grill hoop would gain so I had that cut off and reattached with a rearward slope. It's a mid width bar but haven't had any issues or undue attention.

Cheers

Jas
