You do have to drop the skid plate to access the winch but that's 4 bolts and 2 minutes. Now if you have to remove the winch that will be a royal pain.

I assume that you have the same issues with any concealed bumper winch, but for me the aesthetics more than make up for the disadvantages.

Oh and Cal, congrats on the new toy, you'll love it. I haven't had any problem yet as far as the skid plate lip that you mentioned even though I was initially concerned. I think DOI is coming out with a skid plate eventually which should fit better. Nice rig!
