I tried to wait for Drty's bumper winches to be released but I guess I'm too impatient.
I've seen some close up pics of his setup and it looks more heavy duty compared to Warn's setup.... however, I'm not a hardcore wheeler and it'll serve me fine (hopefully)
Arrived today, took about 2-3 hours to install.
Sorry for the crappy pics.

Thanks guys.
Actually, not that much. You have to mount a couple of brackets (one on the end of each frame rail)
Drill 2 holes on each rail bracket.
Mount center cradle bracket.
Set and bolt winch into cradle.
Run 3 wires premarked to winch. One ground wire needs grounded. A positive and negative lead directly to the battery.
Transfer upper plastic to new bumper, bolt bumper assy on.
I spent half the time drilling holes, installing wires and connecting the controller. The other half of the time was bolting everything up.
Pretty simple really.

Phil,
LOL, it was end of the day and I was using my cell phone. It usually takes better pics but it was really getting dark, I'm surprised it came out at all.

Something looks crooked somewhere. I can't figure if the truck is leaning to the DS, the skid plate is bent up, the bumper is off, the plastic top on the bumper is off or what.
But something just looks off to me. Of course, I am the person that walks through people's homes straightening their artwork. |

It has the remote that came with it. Is that what you are talking about or you mean "wireless" remote? (is there such a thing?) |

Damn you Paragon, you actually saw that. When I put the lift kit on the truck, you're not suppose to use the stock skidplate.
Well, I cut it in half, rewelded and put it back. Apparently while welding it, it got warped. I never messed with it because with the stock frt bumper, you can't tell.
I noticed when I put the Warn bumper on, it shows the crookedness of the skidplate. I was going to fix it tomorrow. It was late today and I didn't feel like messing with it.
Damn you, I say, Damn you...lol.

Mark </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Well you just saved one small portion of the sanity I have left. Something looked off but I couldn't really put my finger on it. Just get a rubber mallet and "form" it back to a nice good shape.

It still looks crooked. Like the wheels are turned left and you're not holding the camera straight
