Yes, they both look good.
Now start shopping the ads in the local papers and Off-road shops and you could find 8k winch for only 300 bucks ;D
Or if ya got the money burninga hole in your pocket, run out and get a Warn 8k winch. They still might be on sale for 550.'
Your winch never be too big but it can be too small.

Calmins winch bumper is nice.
Just don't forget to weld it on once you get it bolted on.
4 Itty bitty bolts aint gonna hold it for winching.

On my 95 Kick I welded it here (yellow spot)

If I recall right, Calmin suggest to weld it on.
It hasn't fallin off yet but I've heard it happened to someone a while back cause it wasn't welded.
I washed it as soon as I got back  ;D
A clean ride is a happy ride ;D

The 4 itty-bitty bolts barely hold the bumper on by itself let alone a winch.  
DO, difinately, weld additional bracketry/reinforce the mount points.

me too, me too !!!

I got really pixxed off with fabricators telling me how good a job they could do for a one off, quoting a good price, and then not doing anything about it!!!

I get the feeling that some of these one-man-band's are self employed, coz otherwise they are unemployable!!

So I decided not to mess around and to get what I really wanted all along. I ordered my calmini two weeks ago from UK importer - should be here next week to fit...
already got a superwinch EP9 to fit to it :)

have to make some adaptions, as I have the 2" RRO body lift
