    Excellent! That's a nice stance. What winch setup did you go with? I have a 2013 with Apex recovery points, I just started looking into hidden winch setups.

    Also, that's a fantastic looking 4R you have there, though I may be a bit biased, haha.

    Looks great! Somebody else I spoke to recently had the same setup, I think this is the way I'm going to go with for mine. I like that the 12K winch fits, and I like that it it seems like the grill or the bumper don't need to be cut for this mount.

    Did you have any issues installing everything, or was it smooth sailing?

    The 12000 lb winch is hefty, and it took up every bit of space up there. I needed to relocate the solenoid, I mounted it in the space against the passenger side firewall. There is not enough clearance for it without cutting or refabbing the grill mounting bracket in the center. It's a tradeoff, because if you plan on installing a 2nd battery, you lose that real estate under the hood if you do it the way I did. I plan on making a thread about my installation, i took lots of pics. In the mean time I'd be happy to help you if you have questions.

    Okay great, thanks a lot for the info. I'll keep an eye out for your thread. Probably not going to do it for a while, so I may get back to you at a later time.
