That's enough information for me to make a decision not to get the winch cradle thing.
I can go with the warn bumper assembly which mounts it in the vehicle below the radiator, or the tuff country unit or even the H2O unit that integrates it also. The drawback I see to the Warn bumper is that it seems to intrude into the path of the front tire somewhat.
I didn't realize you had to take it off to open the hood, that's a non starter for me.
Thanks for the info!
