Very true. Hey that's a good deal! The hardest part is getting it in position and holding it there while you bolt it up lol Also in My winch directions they show you mounting the control box for the winch on the bumper. I didn't like the idea of it being out in the open getting wet every time I go through a puddle so I fabbed up a bracket ran some new wires and mounted it up inside my engine compartment. Then I ran the control through the firewall and mounted it to the left of the steering wheel. If you need any more help let me know maybe I can give you some tips since I went throught that install like 5 months ago.

It would be a HUGE help if you could call on a buddy to help get it installed. Bumpers are heavy, especailly with a winch on them!! Good luck, I can't wait to get my bumpers done!!! The I can mount my winch....that I've had for over a year!!! GOODY GOODY FUN FUN!!
