In January of 2021, I had my pals at Slee Off Road install a winch on the 4runner. I chose a Come Up Gen 2 9550 winch for the install. It was great to get this done and if felt really good to have the guys at Slee work on the 4runner. Funny that I’ve known them for almost 20 years and this is the first time they’ve actually worked on my rig.

Thanks guys!

The front ARB bumper had to come off for the winch to be installed.
