I installed the light bar and it looks amazing. Although it is missing the front three screws and spacers, it is sturdy. The install was amazingly easy and it took around a half hour to install. I will be posting pics tomorrow because it was too late take them.
Got my bar installed today. Mounted the winch just getting ready to wire it now.
Just need some fogs and a lift
I gotta say the workmanship on this bar is outstanding. For what we got for the money it was well worth it. It's gonna be interesting the looks I get from it

I purchased them on another forum SL-I and there was a guy that shipped them from Japan. There are from S401 legacy B4. These lamps are really sexy. I had them in my shed for a while until I had the time to install them. They are atleast 40 percent brighter and the high beams are amazing. Going back to the bar, your truck looks real good with the winch setup. It wasn't that bad to install.
Thanks for the posts guys - Nickybots110 (and anyone else) send me a PM if you have any question about the wiring on the winch. Its pretty straight forward. The toughest decision is coming up with a location for your remote's plug. Don't forget to use those little black rubber terminal covers. They are really nice and do a great job especially if you end up chose to mount your solenoid high and close to the hood or some other metal that your terminal would otherwise arch on.
Wiring was real easy. I mounted the solenoid between the battery and the window washer bottle. Fit perfect and used some silicone to mount it to the bottle.
I mounted the controller plug in the grill. I used the small flat bar that had two holes in it that was ment to hold the switch to mount the plug. One end on the plug one end to the mounting stud for the grill. It's only in using one screw but it's really secure.
The permanent switch I mounted inside on the console.
I'll post a few pics to help everyone understand in the am.
Real easy install just a little tricky in the tight areas.
Also to mount the winch to the bar you will need 1/2 longer bolts. Luckily I had them in my bins. The ones that came with the winch are too short.
I was having fun today pulling the baja up my driveway attached to my suburban.
More pics in the am

Sweet - thanks for the information - and very helpful to know the bolts for mounting the winch were not long enough. Come to think of it, I think we ended up using better and longer bolts. Thanks for pointing that out. Can't wait to see you pics and did you video the pull up the driveway?
Here's a few more to give everyone a idea on how I did my install.
To mount the remote plug I used on screw off the plug an one stud off the grill. In the parts for the winch is a bunch of pieces to mount the switch and plug to a atv. Find the flat 2 hole one. It works perfect to attach at both points. Really secure for just one bolt. I used a little silicone to be extra sure
Ran the wires down the hood under the padding
On the switch for inside I just used some double sided tape and the L-shaped bracket that screws to the switch. Lifted the shifter bezel a hair and put it under it.
Relay is between the battery and window washer bottle. Really no way to attach it with screws so I siliconed it in place. Its a little tight but it worked out as a good spot out of the way.
