| I bought the fully-enclosed sealed unit. I like to go wheeling with Gericurl and I might just end up underwater. Thought sealed electronics would be best!
This being said, I had to have the wonderful brain of Brad Pugmire figure out a way to mount the sucker in my MetalTech bumper. Leave it to Brad to come up with the perfect solution!
We are definitely rocking the house now! |

I'll try to get you some pics. It was kind of a pain really. It's going to be a little tight to reach the plug for the remote cable. Good thing it's the back up since they are RC as well. |
That would be awesome Brad! I received the winch yesterday, and just need my bumper from Demello, which is still 3-4 weeks out. Thanks |

| Here is about the only pic of where I mounted the box. Ideally I would have put it in the engine bay, but my dual battery makes space limited.  winch roof basket 009 by cnckart, on Flickr |

| Well I just bought mine today. Looks like the wall up Poughkeepsie is awaiting all of us. |

| Didn't realize you got a MT bumper. I know you had your heart on a Rocktek. I liked the RockTek until I heard how heavy they are. (heavier than plate bumpers). I still like the MT bumper though.
