As a quick update, I hope to get it wired up and finish the install soon(ish). I will post pictures of the access door and general wiring when done.
Also considering a front and rear lower cut to increase clearance. May wait until I start rubbing before I go through the effort. More time on my end but still cheaper than my preferred approach (if I had the funds to invest)...Hefty Fab's aluminum plate bumper <3

Thanks,

Sorry Chris, lost the photos in a phone replacement. I am happy to share help though as I remember most of it.

These are available through BudBuilt for both 5th generation versions. Others are available...I'd suggest Rago for their integrated recovery points but many, many others exist. I did buy a Rago to attempt...but too much cutting and sold it for a loss before going with Bud.

If you are looking for info on non-Ltd hidden winches I have an install writeup on a 2017 SR5 and a 2019 ORP on this forum.
