Decided to replace the stock SS because it sucks, it feels good at the dirt and city driving (not that much) but on the freeway this SS is not a good experience. Since my wife use to drive the truck when she needs i decided to upgrade that part (just to start and getting into the suspension later).

Fox never restocked @Quadratec, so i decided to pick Falcon (by Terraflex)

The installation is "Easy" but with the correct tool (like a big jack). but i think everybody with a small knowledge on mechanical tools and watching some Youtube Videos.

The winch it was all ready to mount and connect to the battery (plug and play), you better wach a YT video before reading the manual, the instruccions it will guide you to mount the winch like if you need to relocate the main head unit into your hood. All you need to do is wire everything near the air box filter and connect the switch witht the cables provided.
The Winch is a little fat for this Bumper, it fits but its not going to look aligned the superior cover with the skid plate

I used a metallic paint from autozone "heavy duty" to paint as a detail.
The installation it was so easy, i even thought i was a pro doind mods jajajajaa (lol)

The instructions said that you need to remove the grill, even a few youtube videos shows they removing the grill. you dont need on the Gladiator, just make sure you are using a lont screw driver

The only dificult part is when you have to locate the nut inside the bed conduct, for this i need help, i went under the truck with the nut and placed it centered to the hole and then my wife place the washer and screw with the panel on site.

Perfect, thank you! The stock bumper is around 11" from the grill to the furthest point out. I am trying to choose a bumper that will allow me to shave some length off my Gladiator so it will fit in my garage and still keep my cabinets and bench.

oh i got you, yeah the Venator is a little bit tight for this Winch but thank God the superior cover it has a little bit of movement on the brackets so i can move it forward or backward.
