Yellow Lenses helped me last year to keep the snow blindness at bay...
Ran into that while we were on the highway heading up to Copper Harbour.

It does, and the hole pattern is correct - the winch will mount up to those holes. They're just shifted laterally about 1.25", so the winch would be off center & not sit in the spot for it.

I just bought a cobalt bit to drill new holes, making a template & drilling them properly in a minute.

The winch on my jeep is mounted off center. Thought it was wrong till I called bestop. They said that is the way they mount the winches on their bumpers. Not much maybe one inch off center.

yep I'd hook it up and run it like this first. and fix if needed after having them look at it.

I don't think there was any way the winch was going to fit between the frame mounted that far off center. And the drum was way off center from the opening for the fair lead in the bumper.

I made a template & drilled the mount. I'm not perfectly centered, but I think it will mount up now.

Might need to put you behind Mark since he is lead for our group.
Cutting trail is a hard job sometimes and it can get you stuck, good to have a safety.

I like both. But the duratrac seem to be better in deep snow. They are surprisingly quite on the highway. Put 3000 miles on them already. Also, probably couldn't hear them over the SW headers. Lol...
