I rec'd a couple friendly PM's about the rope making contact w the crossbar. Less than ideal set-up.. (Remember what I said about delegating @Eltobgi ...?)

So all I know to do is pull the hook, reroute rope to go over the crossbar.

I read that Warn designed to pull from bottom side of spool. So I'm still less than ideal.

But at least now it's not touching the crossbar.

Is this ok? The winch is so low, verses the fairlead opening designed into the bumper.
To pull from the bottom would be WAY too much angle.

Oh, and thanks to the rest of you who noticed the contacting crossbar, but didn't call me out across the open forum.

However, if I've ever forget to zip my fly... at least shoot me a look. Haha. A long, long, look.

Seriously thanks to the "ever so courteous" @lee and @Hondasxs for being so classy w the PM's.

Excellent example @Jshell3! No one is going to love BB more than you! The dealer was like...Wham, Bam, Thank You @Jshell3 :oops:
