Warn M8000 into ARB Bumper / Solenoid Location Ideas

Did you have to drill that hole into the bumper? And how is it mounted inside the bumper - did you have to construct your own bracket? That's a nice streamlined solution right there!
Also, do I need to clock the winch so I will be able to lock/unlock the spool, or is the default orientation going to be okay? I watched a YouTube video and apparently all you have to do is loosen the housing bolts and twist?

That bumper is the ARB 90 series Prado bumper, not the Tacoma one. It comes with the W cutout and other associated holes from the factory. This was the only bullbar that ARB did this on and it was not popular because if you did not have a winch, the empty W looked silly, and it only worked for Warn so that limited your winch options.

Took off the ARB today and started putting the Warn in - I am going to have to get longer bottom bolts that connect the roller / bumper / winch together (the bottom two bolt holes on the winch).
Where did you get these brackets that mount the solenoid onto the top of the ARB bumper? I have a bracket that came with the winch, but it's just a flat bracket and does not have the bend in it. I think it's for mounting the solenoid directly onto the winch, which isn't what I plan to do.
Do I need to order a special bracket?
The only bracket that came with my Warn looks like this:

That's extremely generous of you to offer!! Does the bracket you have look like the one in the last picture I posted, or is it different? The one in the picture I posted is all I have.
Awesome - yeah mine definitely did not come with that (and I bought it BRAND new off of Amazon - go figure).
I will PM you my details and shipping address, and I can PayPal you the money (and some extra, if you'd like) for your trouble / the shipping. I really appreciate it!
Edit: PM sent! **NEVERMIND - I found the bracket!! Hooray!**
Wow I feel like an idiot. :wow2:
