Default Mopar winch bumper question

I've got the bumper on there now, tell me I won't have to remove it again to get a winch in there. I"m going with a Warn Tabor - remote solenoid so it's low profile.

On another note, the instructions call for you to remove the grill - why? I left it on the whole time, plenty of room.

One more note - whatever engineer decided to use those plastic nutsert things whould be beat down. cheers

My Warn 9.5ti just barely fit in with the bumper and grill on.
The first time I put the winch in, I realized the grill would not drop behind the winch in order to snap it back on.
So I had to take the winch out, snap the grill on, then the winch dropped back in nice and snug.

thanks for the reply - I had to destroy most of the nutserts on the airdam to remove it and I didn't want to do the same with the ones on the grill.

Cheers

I forgot to ask - mentioned this in another thread as well

My Jeep didn't have the 'washer plates' on the backside of the framerails

I installed the bumper without them. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks
