You haven't got to the hardest part of the install yet which is the four bottom holes (the part you opted not to do). It's almost impossible to get those installed correctly.
The other part of the install that is a pain is mounting the winch. The holes in the front are too small for most hands. Luckily my wife could squeeze hers in there, so have someone with hands small enough to fit in the holes available. They should have opened up the holes another .5".

This was very helpful as I just installed the SRC classic on mine not more than 4 days ago. I was worried about the fog lights because I heard they can trip an error code. But i guess HID is the way to go if i want to use the original factory fog set up. Awesome rig by the way!
