Dennis,
It's nice to have both wired and ready to go should you need it. As you know, on the front receiver you have to drop the pin down through the top. First, the second hole was stopping the pin from dropping all the way through so I had to hammer the end a bit so it would just slide by. Second, if you need to remove the winch from the front for storage or to the rear for use the pin is tough to get out. Maybe we have different pins but on mine you really can't reach your finger in there to get it, so what I have that is very cool is a magnetic wand that I stick in there and it grabs it so I can pull it out. If you have the same problem maybe you can pick one of those up.
Also, I'm not sure if warn makes locks for the winch to prevent theft but it just so turns out that my Thule rac n loc bike rack has an identical size pin so I can use the lock that comes with this for my winch! The lock is truly unbreakable so they would need to remove all of the bolts from the cradle to get it off and away.
