Original winch owner used this piping with a small offset and a set screw. It was accessed by popping the hood and reaching between the grill and radiator. He my not have had air because it comes pretty close to my condenser. But I would rather not pop the hood to operate the winch anyhow.
This morning I did a mock up of a flat bar extension to come up through the bumper right in front of the grill. It has a lot of holes for mock up. It bolts to the clutch handle and snakes through the bumper in front of the grill. I had to jockey it around a bit to get it were I wanted, so I bolted the joint at first to get the angle correct and height on mounting on clutch handle, then I welded the joint. Guess I never took pics of it coming through the bumper in front of the grill. Now that I have it mocked up I can cut, bend and weld a clean one. Then I'll post some installed pics.
