I like my winch where it is.your not alone. The one downside well two in Michigan if I need a winch there’s a good chance I’m in mud or snow pretty deep. With the hidden I’d have to fish around for the end to pull it up. ,
At this point the winch is submerged and as we have seen the control box is NOT water tight!,
You would have to extend the clutch engage lever or lay down and find and then it to unspool the line. Then fish around to re engage it.
You do have to cut some frame extensions off to mount this and if you took a good hit to the front lower you could damage the winch or whatever the winch hits.
I do like my winch higher mounted.
I get a light bar mount this way
My control solenoid is damn high and will not be submerged and if it is I have a lot bigger problems.
I like relocating my camera.
I like relocating my control box.
I like moving my parking sensors.
I like blocking the radiator's air flow.
