    I am curious if anyone has clocked their smittybilt winch? I have a bumper coming and want to ensure when I install everything I can maintain access to the clutch switch.

    I planned on clocking mine, but it turned out to be way easier to just reach around the bumper to get to the clutch instead of contorting my hand through a hi lift jacking hole. Guess it depends on your bumper, but for me it ended up being a non-issue. I think the only setup that would give you trouble is one of those stealth/hidden mounts that retain part of the factory bumper.

    Well I went a head and clocked the smittybilt and it was super easy. Literally just a allen head bolts and pull out and rotate. Makes the clutch handle super easy to use. I will try and get some photos.

    So I installed it on an SSO hybrid tube bumper with access holes. It makes it much easier to access for sure.

    Clocked mine and it worked out pretty well. I would recommend!
