Still getting around to putting it on. Hopefully I will get around to in in the next couple of weeks.

I have one on order as well - looks like it shipped yesterday. So install is probably in the same time frame.

I have had no issues with GP Factor hidden 12K. Easy enough to spool up after cleaning if you take your time. I do wish there was more access to the spool....

I had a Warn Zeon 10-S on the Jeep, so I'm gonna do the same on the Grenadier!

We have to have a front license plate in CO. I see the GP Factor has a plate mount, but I don;’t see one for the LFD. I’m sure I could rig something up.

With the GP $500 off for Black Friday, I’m back to wondering about hidden versus open winches. I’m not planning on using it a lot. From the negative comments about hidden ones, I’m surprised that they are even offered…

Hidden winches aren’t inherently dangerous, they’re just not ideal. The upside to one (specifically for the Grenadier) is there is no loss of approach angle. All of the aftermarket trays need to stick out past the stock bumper (reducing approach angle), although admittedly it isn’t much. The main advantage of the accessible trays is the ability to more easily remove / replace / service a winch.

Coastal Offroad is offering a hidden winch mount that supports the Warn VR 12 with a full spool. 15% off for black friday right now. It may be a lower cost option compared to GP Factor. I'm still planning to use LFD to have the spool exposed.
