Bunch of wiring to clean up. Replace the Warn fairlead with something else (it interferes with the JCR camera relocate), aim the lights (VisionX Transporters in 18 LED and a custom 90 degree pattern, I want them for slow speed off road, not bombing down the road) Super stoked the way it turned out

ACC was not relocated and it works great, Parking sensors relocated and work great. Front camera relocate works great. I will get some screen shots tomorrow when it's light out.

Looking good. Can we see a side shot from a distance to look at the approach angle?

Of course, it was getting late last night... Still not happy with the power cables/camera cable... but it is getting close. When I remove the hitch links, I don't think I have lost any

Take out the hitch links and I don't think I affected approach angle

Still want to redo the power cables through the grill- waiting on some right angle battery crimps to re wire. New camera cable on order so I can drastically shrink the split loom to the camera.

Non identifiable photo is the outside frame horn brace. I braced both the side and outside. The receiver tube is sunk into the frame and through bolted as well

Love that you made it work! I have a 8274 on my 78’ CJ that’s been on there since I bought the winch new I n 2017. It’s a beast when I comes to pulling me out of a jam and love how it looks on the front of my Jeep. I was thinking of ways to make it more easily switched from Jeep to Bronco as needed. I was hoping to see some one so it before I tried. Your build there has giving me some good ideas and it looks like it was executed pretty well. I’m still on the fence if I want to go this route or do a hidden winch solution. I applaud your efforts with this though.

Excellent! Love this build; the 8274 is the Lord's own winch. One suggestion, ditch the Warn fairlead and get the Factor55 fairlead; it is much smoother on the line and would clear the camera bracket better.

Boy there's certainly been some choices made here.

I would buy one for sure if someone manufactured these. I put together a 8274 winch mount for my FZJ80 using a TrailGear center section and a 8274 mount for a Chevy pickup.
