Where did you get the fairlead - where the cable exits the bumper...That looks really clean...I like it.

I used a mounting plate from smittybilt for my stock bumper. Here it is!!!

Mounts to the inside of the front frame rails.



There is two cuts to make for the mounting plate and they are right above the inside of the frame rails and only go into the bumper 2 3/4" x 1/4" wide. These pick were taken the day we also installe my RC lift. and RC disco's.

I like how all the cuts to the front bumper are hidden.
