    Some notes:

    Getting the bumper on and off to make measurements for cutting fairlead hole sucks.

    After removing factory AL bumper there are a number of spots under the factory bumper that no longer have mounting points. Bailing Wire!

    I had to move my remote connection to the front of the relay box to make it work with the bumper cut outs I made.

    I decided to run a couple beads of weld along each tray side and the front after it was adjusted and tightended. I just don't trust the 4 bolts to hold it.

    Have a factor 55 fairlead and shackle coming to finish off.

    Overall - happy with the winch mount and keeping my rear bumper. Install required much back and forth to get everything just right, but nothing difficult.

    Hey, I was wondering why you went with Optima and not Odyssey batteries? I'm trying to make a decision and still not sure which I'm going to go with.
