[QUOTE="alex dougherty, post: 1015830, member: 71366"] Jerry- I did not see that thread. That wouldve helped with some confusing parts but there were acouple things that we did differrently. 1. instead of drilling holes in the plate for the transmission cooler lines i just relocated the cooler to the other side of the radiator by leghtening the lines. 2. instead of buying a plate i made a plate so i had to make brackets for the fairlead to mount on. 3. i bought a bigger winch (12,000 pd which weighs roughly 90 pds) and because of that i had to remove a bit of metal around the bumper brackets and the bumper itself to make it fit. 4. my clutch engauger is not moveable so i had to cut a section of the bumper and bumper cover to be able to get my hand in there to engage and disengage it when needed. and 5. i have a wireless remote for mine so i didnt have to mount the control switch anywhere. mine came with both a wired and wireless control. The wired control plug in is right next to the clutch so i will be able to plug it in through the same hole if needed. And the pics are in my library under the folder " Sport trac July 2014" [/QUOTE]
