I cut slots in the bumper Saturday for the fairlead, clevis mounts, and remote plug.
I used the extra Long D-ring/Clevis Mounts from Chassis Unlimited. They mount with 3/4" high strength bolts. I also used a cheap steel Smitty Built fairlead off amazon, mounted with 1/2" stainless bolts.
Tip on cutting the bumper. If your bumper is chrome don't try to scribe or pencil in lines. The lines get lost in the mirrored reflections on the chrome. So, if your cutting close to the lines your eyes can pickup a lot of static. Tape out the square. The bumper is pretty thin, as far as metal goes, so you can cut it nicely with a jigsaw. Just drill a couple starter holes, jigsaw as close as you can. Dremel to fine tune then clean up the corners with a hand file.
Here's the completed bumper.
Now I need to make an extended clutch lever to come up through the top of the bumper. Otherwise I'll always have to reach way underneath to switch the lever to engage or free spool.
Holes cut out.
