Such a biznitch to rewrap cable. Me, wife, and my daughters did it family style. 1 daughter got clinked in the head by the hook. Lol

It's massive compared to the HF 12K. The HF will go in the rear.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you mount it in the rear. Will it hurt your clearance?

Not if my plan works. Will be above current hitch mount. Plate will integrate with the bumper, top side. License plate has to move. Not looking forward to that part....bc that makes it look stock.

Got the winch, rope, and fairlead set. Just need to splice in the thimble and attach hook. Do a respool to stretch the rope. 3/8" x 130'.

Repurposed the previous fairlead mount.
