Ok, you know the drill. Spread all the kit out on the floor (check).

Outline the spec of each item.

Accept helpfeul suggestions that you should have bought something else in good spirit

start fitting, taking photos.

Post photos.

Rolling Eyes to "oooh, did you really want to do it like that?" posts

Complete the job, then listen to the health and safety brigade demand that you post a PDF of your winch proficiency certificate

Get offroad to forget all of the above. Get stuck. Find fatal flaw in installation.




Can't see a problem Thumbs Up

What is this? It was attached to the back side of the air defuser thing behind the bumper. What do I do with it now that that piece is gone?
