Nice work.

Thank you AP,
I stared at for two days, then decided I did not want a bush bumper on with the extra weight and length. So I put my fabrication skills to work. My air box will cover the winch completely, seeing as it has been removed and replaced with free flow. Fair lane covered with licence plate on spring hinges. I'm ready for hunting season now!

Nice work. I've been wondering about trying the same using the Harbor Freight winch tray. Lots of folks seem to be able to build decent concealed winch systems using that tray and tucking it behind factory plastic. (Seen on Rovers, Jeeps, etc.)
