CBI Covert bumper/Warn EVO10S cable release handle access

I’m installing a CBI Covert bumper paired with a Warn EVO10S winch. I have heard that access to the clutch handle and general visibility of the winch spool from front of truck is not so good. Does anyone have experience with this on a G3 Sport?

 

No issues with mine...

 

Nice. I can’t tell from the pic, but access to the spooling handle is good/ok? I see this is a Sequoia so wonder if bumper design is same or similar. CBI Covert, right?

 

No, it's my Tacoma with a CBI Covert...you have to open the hood and reach down between the grille and condenser to access the clutch handle

 

Thanks for that. I may be able to fashion a bracket and extend the handle up to the top of the grill/radiator level for ease of access if the reach is too far/awkward.

 

Greenlane stump bumper. Had mine for 3 years with some hefty pulls on it and no issues with it being aluminum.


2 access spots for freespool and power switch. I clocked my free spool forward on my x20 and it has been great. All of these bumpers that require you to pop the hood to access the free spool is a major flaw. When I need my winch speed and efficiency are key. With my lightbar mounted in the grille slot drum visibility is almost nill but has yet to be an issue.
