Paragon, I had the same problem with the bolts not going in straight.
However, thanks to Gobi for their help, We re-threaded two bolts and I'm done. I made two ABS Plastic guards to go over the bumper too. so when you take the winch cable hook to your tow hook, it won't be scratched over and over again. as for the POS cable being to short, their is a red box to the left of the battery and down further. I just an the POS cable to that... it reached just barely.
Overall, the project took me from 10:30 til 4:30 with an hour and a half brake becasue it rained and all of mt tools and trcuk were outdoors.
So here are some half-a$$es pics of the final job.
Overall it wasn't a bad project and am happy to answer an Q's anyone has on the installation.
Thanks Fever for the great deal and all of your follow through on this.
