2016+ Tacoma Hidden Winch Mount

Thanks! Did you have to do any cutting?

 

When I put the bumper back on, I had to trim a little plastic to clear the top of winch.

 

Does anyone know if the Yankum Ropes Groove fair lead will work with this?

You could definitely bolt it on, however due to the winch mount being set in to the bumper, you might not be able to wrap the line around the edges unless you clearance a decent amount more of the black plastic bumper out which might not look too great imho.

 

I know I'm reviving an older thread here but will the 30" S8 baja designs lightbar mount kit from @SDHQ work with this winch mount? I ordered the VR EVO 10 winch and I'm worried that I won't be able to have both in since the light would essentially occupy the same space as the clutch

 

You're correct, you cannot use the lower light bar mounts because it will interfere with the winch. SDHQ makes a behind the grill mount that can fit a 30" and also a lower bar or two seperate bars depending on if you have then sensor or not. A side benefit is that light performs better the higher up in the front you can get it (casting less shadows on rocks/objects). https://sdhqoffroad.com/products/16...lt-behind-the-grille-dual-led-bar-light-mount
A few pics of my setup for reference:

 

I ended up getting ahold of @SDHQ and I was told I will be able to install both the light and my winch together. The only difference is I will have to reach through a different way to engage or disengage the clutch. Not a big deal to me since I don't have to use the winch a bunch. I guess I will find out come install time

 

Is there a decent install video on this? All I've found is the short 1.5min video that has a quick time-lapse
