Default Engo winch with and AEV bumper

I'm thinking about getting an Engo 10k winch with synthetic line and I have an AEV premium front bumper. I'm wondering if anyone has this combo and how easy was it to add-on? Any problems/ clean fit?

Default Any Answer?

Did you ever get an answer for this? I also have a AEV Front Bumper and wondered the same question.

Has anyone done this install yet? I have the E10,000 in my garage and waiting for warm weather to install. I'm not sure the control is going to fit.

I should know the answer this weekend. It's probably going to take some sort of bracket to locate it higher.

To update this, the solenoid will no fit as intended. If you don't run lights, you could probably mount it slightly higher above the winch. With lights, it won't fit. I will have to mount it elsewhere.

I ended up mounting the solenoid/control box vertically against the grille. I'm hoping it doesn't restrict airflow any more than my lights.

I have the smittybuilt which I think has the same solenoid mounting position and this is how mine looks minus any lighting.

It looks like the smittybilt size and wiring is much more forgiving. The Engo box is large and the wiring is stiff.
