look at my first post lol. Thats generally where most people put them. Either the bumper, hitch, liscense plate, etc. The instructions say you could also put it behind the fuel door which is an interesting idea, or in the wheel well which i dont like at all for fear of getting broken by debris.

There were no holes in your hitch? I wonder when they changed that?
and I wasn't about to drill into the frame for those bolts, once I saw those brackets it was a given I was welding them on. Took me longer to get the welder out and setup than the actual welding!
I know about drilling the frame. When Pyro picked up 'Weeds grille guard the bracket holes didn't line up on the mount. Got on Warn's website and found that the '02 has the tow hook bracket holes in a different configuration than the '03+ 3rd Gens.
So we had to drill the four holes for them. Better than an hour of switching between the two of us drilling and switching between the air drill to allow my tank to refill and a hammer drill and ON THE THIRD BIT (the first one was shot when we started), there were four holes!!!
I am running it off a modified four pin trailer pig tail extension for a set of ATV lights I mounted on one of those Bully hitch mounted steps. I do a LOT of night fishing in Georgia and there are times the lights at the back tailgate come in handy. The upside is it cost me a buck for the pigtail extension and two for the switch, is water tight at the connector and took me 20 minutes to make. The downside is I have to go to the cab to turn my running lights on to get power to it. But it works...
