How is the access to the winch?
It sucks if you include the light bar! Zero access. Check out squawbum’s installation and video. He left off the light and has access to the control box and clutch. I’m waiting to see if a company or individual comes up with a control box relocation under the hood, and I’ll follow their lead. Shortly after mine was installed, the blue tooth on the remote flaked out, but it started working again shortly thereafter. It’s worked flawlessly since. I perform periodic tests. If that malfunction occurs again, I’ll escalate to see what my installer can do. He has 30+ years of experience with making 4x4 modifications. If I get to the next round of mods for him with nobody else to follow, we’ll probably go ahead and see if we can relocate that control box.

I have small hand so I was able to get to it thru the front grill. But for someone with bigger wrist, they might have to do a little cutting or trimming that little cross bar. I highlighted the area in the picture

But my warn winch is wireless, so I don’t really need to reach back there.

I also have the Rago front bumper with the Rigid light bar installed on my TRD Pro.
Want to go with the Warn 10s winch but I'm concerned about how to reach in there to move the clutch on top to lock and unlock it in place. Even though it is wireless I'm curious how it would work?

Since you have the light bar from the pro also. I’m not sure how. But maybe you can get by the whole next to it

Does anyone know if Rago has tested this on the Hybrid models yet? I know originally they were saying it wouldn't work with the Platinum and such for that reason.
