    Just finished installing it to my 2011 TRD OR DC. I love it! The service from Jimmy12 was amazing. Always answered my questions quickly, shipped it on time, the quality and strength is great. The install was seamless. The most difficult part was figuring out where all the mounts to the plastic bumper cover were. The install of the mount and the winch itself was lighting fast. The next challenge (since I have an after market Billet grill was cutting a 1" by 1" cut-out for the remote to be fed through. But that too was accomplished!

    I am happy with the job. It is a bit tricky with white on white compared to darker colors..any and all mistakes in the cutting will show! I am happy with how it came out.

    Looks great, you should cut all the way through the sides, that way it'll look oem and you wont have the 'stair case edge' effect going

    Got it from Jimmy12 at http://undercoverhwms.com/

    If you go with a flat fairlead and not a roller fairlead you probably can cut less. I wanted the roller.

    I may have to try that. I wanted to cut as little as possible and use the larger roller fairlead. Should be easy to do even with it on with the dremmel.

    Probably has to be motored out. That would take forever. I looks clean, I like it.

    Also where does the remote plug in?

    you engage and free spool it through between the radiator and the grill. Plenty of room. The remote plugs in through the Grill

    Very nice install. I like the looks of the roller fairlead. Does it make the front of the truck sag with the extra wieght? Did you have to beef up the front suspension at all?

    When I purchased the truck from the dealer it already had procomp 2.25" top plates. If it made the front sag, it was negligible. The mount is beefy but no way near the weight of an aftermarket bumper. Love the undercover winch. Even the service dept at the dealer loved it.

    That looks so bitchin. Seems like it would work perfectly with the AVID light bar/bumper too.

    Hmmm..............
