See the Vendors section for more info: Here's a Warn M8000 mounted and operational on the Detours KJ Backbone. Next up is to dream up some sort of doohicky bracket to remount my Hellas on. 
Now I must fight the urge to drag random objects around for no apparent logical reason...

That looks sweet! I have been looking at the backbone for a while and I still like the way it looks. |

 Best dang product to come out for the KJ since Boulderbars. Looks great!
Now just lose the cable, get some synth rope and save yourself some weight off the front. |

I been waiting to get one, but the wife wants me to finish my race/street car and clean the garage out before I can have one.

In addition the weight savings - it sticks out much less than the roller fairlead...

The whole set up looks great and a real clean look. If you don't mind my asking how much did it cost and how hard or easy was it to install??? It has a great clean and finished look

Hey Ratmloud, I remounted my Hellas similar to yours - pics to follow tonight. However, I'm keeping the roller fairlead since it made a perfect place to mount a 'light bar'. I used an 18" piece of flat steel bar stock: 1" x 1/4" thick and bolted it to the fairlead on the top. Maybe some day for the synthetic line, but I hear they can be finnicky. Also - ratmloud - you can flip the Warn solenoid bracket around and mount the box directly over the motor - thereby letting more air get straight to your radiator... Todd |

And here's the lights remounted... Still need to re-wire them. The nice thing is that I can just see their tops over the hood from inside. Hopefully I will avoid smacking into stuff now.

My lights will be bolted to the roof rack so I don't really care for any extra brackets. Thanks for thinking of the KJ crowd, though. I would like to see pics of an '05+ with a Backbone, though. with or without winch, please? |

It seems like the ones we see here are the most logical place to mount big round lights...they look great
