You didn't notice the pump because 2010's don't have them . It's only the 2012 and up with the Pentastar motor.

I like the OrFab relocating bracket. It mounts it on top of the fender in the engine bay and keeps it out of harms way from down around the bumper.

I called RR and told them I was going to reuse their bumper by moving it from my 08 to my 12. They sent me one for free.

Good deal...it's a $10 bracket otherwise.

I am thinking the non-winch version may not need the bracket after looking at it....there seems to be enough clearance

You think the orfab bracket will work with an spod? That is the general area for the spod brain. Just curious, installing my spod next week, but from what I've seen that's the location it mounts in.

just installed mine today. No need to relocate pump. More than enough room.
