So does the 05-07 ARB bumper do a good job covering up the factory holes in the grille after removing the lights? Does the bumper block much air flow going to the radiator?

JL, does the factory lights from the grille go into the ARB? I noticed yours didn't have any lights.

ARB lists these 4 winches. The M8000 seems to be one of the most popular that I’ve seen on trail rigs. Any opinions?

XD9000,
M8000,
M6000,
9.5XP

ARB lists these features:

Airbag Approved
Recessed Indicators
Recessed Fog Lamps
Tow Points
Split Pan
Hi-Lift Provision

What is the purpose and/or advantage of the split pan?

I run the 9.5 XP,very fast and powerful.I can power out the rope and power it back in without needing to cool it down(drum is barely warm).Sure it's twice the cost of the M8000 but the M800 is not strong enough for my heavy KJ anyways.
