MW3 getting winch today...
I have all the parts now, and today is a 1/2 day. 
Barring the fiancee getting me sidetracked, it should be operational by tonight.
Anyone have any install issues on a '12? I installed a smittybuilt winch on my buddies '11 rubi last year.

Well, it did take a few hours, but it all turned out ok.
Couple things, had to drill out the upper right drivers side main bolt hole to install the fairlead bracket. (was not in directions)
Had to cut away part of the original vaccum pump bracket (was in directions)
Had to trim down one of the winch's nuts so it would fit in there. I guess the powder coat was a little too thick???
