Some great looking builds here. One question though, what is the maximum length of the winch in order to fit inside the bumper?

Not sure but my q9000 motor only has about a .5" gap between it and the frame rail.

Dumb question time...

With this inverted mount, is there any challenge with accessing the lever?

I am in Western Washington and the chance of that being under water and or mud at the most critical time is fairly high.

Looks good, but most of all, I love the license plate itself. GO PACK!
