With my winch currently behind the cladding and grill, there was no easy way to access to the clutch controls. Today, I cut a hole in the lower portion so I can actuate the winch clutch. It wasn’t easy, and I got done just as it was getting dark, but it’s done. Not the prettiest things, but it is functional. Fortunately I do not plan to keep the stock grill, or if I do it will be “trimmed” even more. Eventually the entire front cladding will be replaced with a plate bumper, but this works for now. It’s too dark to get a decent picture tonight, I will try to get one tomorrow.
