    Very clean.

    I'd like to see a pic the where the remote plugs in and a pic of how to access the winch clutch.

    Problem doing that is the bolts might push against the fascia if it comes out that far.

    I'll try to get some pics. You access the clutch with the hood open and putting your arm down behind the grill. Not the easiest, but not really bad either. Rather easy after a couple tries.

    Oh - and I mounted my solenoid on the driver side fender. Since I have to open the hood anyway to get to the clutch, might as well put the solenoid up there where it's out of the elements. I'll eventually get a wireless remote for it so it won't matter where it is....

    Nice, I've had the same idea in mind since I've been considering the idea of a hidden winch mount. Just a bit longer shackle mount like you say, so the shackle clears the bumper skin.

    Love it! I think the addition of the shackles might be the deciding factor for me.

    If you're just looking to install the mount, without the shackles, it would take all of an hour or so to do. No charge as long as you bring it up my way to do it (just north of Charlotte).

    Yep - used a Dremel to do all the plastic cutting. Bought some plastic cutoff wheels for it.

    Cutoff Wheels

    I never talked with the guys there. Only PM or email.
