    IMG-5514.jpg I bought my first Tacoma a couple of weeks ago and it has had some modifications done to it. I'm new to working on vehicles and wanted to start on this one. Come experience my adventure with me.

    Fixed the electrical issue I had with my taillight not working and the right blinker staying on when my headlight was on. My problem was one of the fuses was blown in the box.

    Does anyone know what I could do for the front grill, so I don't have to cut into it for the winch?

    Relocate the winch control box to the engine bay?

    I don't think that it is possible.

    even if I move the winch control box I'm still having to cut into the grill cause of how high up it sits. eventually, I'm going to have to make drop lower into the bumper or get a different one.

    Unfortunately it looks like that is what it is with the design of your front bumper?
    Your options?
    -Get a different designed front bumper
    -Get a smaller/lower profile winch
