Been having this winch for about 8 months and I finally got around to installing it!
I wanted it to hide behind the stock bumper...so let the cutting begin![Happy](https://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)

I've been debating whether to do a mount like you did or a multi mount. Cant decide.

Yeah that turbo stuff takes up some room but is well worth the realestate!
As far as hwy mileage I haven't been on a trip without towing something
