They also offer different color ropes if that's what you want. I bought the Viper II 6000 wide spool and top mounted it to a new Bad Dawg bumper. I have yet to use it because I haven't installed the dual batteries but I love the looks of it.

I cant tell if you are serious or not. In this forum I have read some people have issues with the Viper. IDK if its the V1 or V2, but none the less . Robo do you use the viper? How long have you had it? Any issues? Photos of it installed?
I have not purchased my Viper yet. I have other things from the club store and I very much support this forum and recommend it second to none. I have a junk champion for a winch currently. It is most likely not necessarily junk but I purchased it in the heat of the moment of I need it now to get ready for a ride and thought 3500lbs was enough. I have seen lots of happy people on here with the Viper.

There were issues with the very first batch, but that's been resolved.
All other issues are fitment issues mostly on the Pioneer line.
I have the V2 on my Pioneer and Talon, but the talon has an aftermarket bumper so I can't comment personally.
But I can look today at the OEM bumper and let you know what I think.
I have sold a few for the Talon models.
Will the 6K Wide Spool fit my Talon with this bumper?

It should. I ran a harbor freight badlands wide spool with a KFI mount when I had that bumper. Only thing to be mindful of is if you get the slightest bend in that “bash plate” it will deflect into the winch. There are two little tabs that I have no idea what they are meant to be for, and they’ll push up into the winch. I clearanced mine with a cutoff tool after the bumper met a few rocks and no more problems.
