The clutch handle is the lever directly under the reciever.
Haven't had much problem hitting the fairlead yet- thats not saying it won't happen though, but I do have some pretty deep drag marks under the rear axle differential and the rear "D" rings however.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Have you considered putting a piece of 1/4" plate under it for protection?

Yes, I had a piece cut to weld in under the winch when I built it, but left it off because I figgured it would be too hard to untangle a pinched line. A piece of 1/4 X 2 flat bar directly under the fairlead would offer some protection for the fairlead however. I will have to put that one on my to-do list, shouldn't take very long- thanks.

Drty... did you get those front mounts in to production yet? I am ready for a front mount soon, after I get heavier torsion bars installed.
