Unsure on which Winch Mount is right for me

Here is the Hidden RC installed.

Didn't you have to saw off some brackets though?

How did you relocate the camera in that position?

With Camera relocation...

Did the mount come with holes for the sensors? From the pictures on the website it does not seem like there are holes for the sensors, Also how did you attach the camera relocation? was that from a JCR Kit or Mountains2Metal?

Yes in order for the winch to fit. The pieces of framing are not I did not want to cover the grill.

Yes but are only extension pieces. Nothing is attached.

No, I drilled (2) 1-1/8” holes…I used the JCR kit, but I think I would go M2M if I was doing it again.

I like the JCR.

Just did a custom fabrication. Documented with some pics here.

Trimming these pieces caused me to hesitate, but really was the easiest part. Instructions also said to trim the diff mount, which I did, but didn't have to, check first.

Also I built a clutch tool, to work with my Rugged Ridge, may not work with all winches.

Here's the Mabett one. No drilling, and comes with front camera relocation bracket and wiring/tubing. I don't have a front camera yet.

I wanna relocate the winch control box but can't find a kit.

IAG has the one I bought.

How are you liking the IAG winch mount? I've been looking at this one as I like that it sets the winch a little lower than most. If you had to do it again would you stick with the IAG mount?

Absolutely yes, I haven’t had an issue with its location and the looks are better to me.

You dont need a kit, just some longer battery cables, maybe 4 gauge…

Just for grins, I added my cheap Amazon camera (broadcast via wifi thru an app to cheap tablet)

Don't fit perfectly (wasn't designed to) but works great.

They're 4 gauge. Never rewired /crimped cable that big.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated!

This is possibly the best winch set up, that I would go for. But your right its pretty invasive.
