Good effort NateDog. Winch well tucked in and still good approach angle.

I agree with the above, did you chance your grill or does it drop down behind the top tube of the bar?

Cheers fellas. I bought the synthetic winch line from the states whilst on holiday. Its not cheap but atm with the US dollar so low its the best time to purchase. The line is super strong but not as abrasive resistant as steel cable. But i like the fact that it doesnt recoil as bad if the line snaps and not loose wire to cut your hands up.
The grill is still standard. I did a 2" body lift so that helped tuck the winch in flush along the original grill line to maintain best approach angle. I just pop the grill off to remove the winch for any repairs.
That bar of yours Citron looks bullet proof and heavy, but a neat job. I do like the LEDs.
