Are the fairlead bolts accessible from the outside with the winch and bumper installed?
Thanks,

The bumper just has two holes in it, its not threaded nor does it have a welded nut on the backside. The bolt heads are easy to get to from the front but the nuts on the backside are tricky - I was able to reach in with my winch installed and feel them so its possible with the right length/size of wrench you could get to it but wouldn't stake a paycheck on it - honestly - I would just paint/plasti-dip the warn fairlead now and call it a day if you don't want to spend the money for the F55 (don't blame you - I just used the grey/silver Warn one). In general, better to cry once
PS if you are willing to get some pinstripe (depending on how over grown it is) hurricane creek is a very fun trail to run that we normally hit every time I am in the area - Family live in Black Mountain/Montreat
