    I have no experience with clocking the engagement handle on this winch but I know it can be done.

    I think I read that @Delta00 did it just recently. Troy, is this the winch you have?

    Let me know how the install comes out I'm about to add a winch, smittybilt xrc8 on the same exact bumper next week. Wondering because on the second gens you need longer cables. "From what I hered"

    Oh man, my bumper with a winch was really heavy. Had to use one of those engine hoists to get it up there.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    X2, I had to use a motorcycle jack to get mine on, would have been really sketchy otherwise

    Depends on how well weather proofed it is and whether or not it is using contactors or solenoids.

    Yes sir

    This VVVV
    The contracor inside the black box is vulnerable to corrosion. The high amperage that goes thru it mixed with moisture (mud, snow, rain, etc.) can create issues. If you mount it exposed, make sure it is well sealed.

    Putting it out of direct impact from the elements seems like a better option to me. I still sealed it with silicone because even in the bumper or under the hood, it is going to get exposed.

    Just installed the winch yesterday on the same bumper. I didn't have to take the bumper all the way out. Just removed the top bolts and pulled the bumper out just a enough to place the winch on it.
    *extra hands to help will be key. Good luck
