    i installed mine the same way :thumbsup:

    If you wanna make a clean connection for the twin, you can cut off the plug with the purple and black wire. Purple is your positive trigger wire and black is the negative.

    The twin has built in relays. So the big harness with the power wires goes to the battery then you can cut off that small plug to wire into whatever switch you end up using.

    that way you don’t have to deal with the clusterfuck of a harness they send.

    I used the wits’ end quick connect and pacifier as well...makes for a clean look and easy to access.

    I did get the ARB switch with it so may just trim a dash slot and pop it in there. I'll have to look at the harness when I get it

    I think a full bumper is the way to go eventually.
    Doing the front hitch and winch cradle would be a great workaround for now.

    That's a good deal on a decent bumper. I wouldn't shy away from that. I trust @3pooches to be strait up with you on the condition as well.
