I only received instructions for the bumper which were very weekly written by someone has never installed the bumper. They could have saved a lot of work. The tire carrier did not have instructions had to request them from smitty built. A couple of notes in the instruction could have save a lot of time. The place I bought said three hours to install. There is no way more like ten to fifteen. But the bumper look great and function good just have to come up with a solution to fix the tire carrier rattle. You missed a star because of the poor instruction not even you tube helped. 6min video does not cover a ten hour job

The flat bed trailer that I bought had a winch but no remote came with it. I was glad to find out that I was able to order one through Amazon.

Bought this for my 2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ equipped with X20 SmittyBilt 10,000 lb winch. It was sold to me without the controller and they tried to sell me a whole new winch for over $500 +. Research definitely paid off. Plugged in and operates with no issues. I attached pictures since they don’t show the type of plug (5) prong.

Although this is meant for an XRT winch it also fits an X2O unit with one exception. It doesn’t have wireless remote capabilities. Since the X2O remote has been on back order for over 9 months now I can at least use the X2O winch until the proper controller becomes available.
