Satoshi Grill w/ Cutout for Winch - Pics?

[JWaldz]

Curious if anyone has done a Satoshi grill mod with a cutout to adapt an open top bumper with winch?

I got a Coastal Offroad open top and the winch sits back to where cutting of the grill is required. I'd like to move to a Satoshi grill at this point. Cutting of the mesh would be required and then I would probably just line the edges with some rubber/plastic trim.

Just wanting to see some pics (if there are any out there) before investing time and money into making the grill.

This guy did an amazing job on that. Page 14 of the shared pic thread.

IMHO, I think it is worth the extra time to make longer wires and move the solenoid to another location so there's no modification needed to the grill. Not sure if this is the case with your winch, but maybe something to think about:

The solenoid box won't be the limiting factor. The winch itself will require the grill to be trimmed. As for the solenoid box, I'm going to likely have to relocate it anyways.

Just for reference, this is a good representation on how far back the winch itself will sit.

I made mine fit by just cutting enough room for the wires to pass through the mesh on the grill for the control box. If I put the control box somewhere else it would have been no cut needed.

Probably much different than the Coastal bumper.
