LOL I don't remember the WARN rep I was talking to years ago, but he told me the average customer only needs to pull their vehicle 3.5' to get out of trouble and the best location for a recreational winch is in the rear (I really like the multi mount concept, but doesn't work on a full size diesel truck). We mount winches to the front of our vehicles for expeditionary use and assistance mostly I think. Interestingly, agg. and forestry work requires a winch on the rear as well. Far as the Army, well, I was never a fan of moving in large columns, wearing uniforms, large pieces of equipment begging for ordinance to fall on it or anything conventional......However, everything and everyone has their place brother.

I like the idea of the fairlead mounted in effect to the center of the rear bumper behind the license plate. Nice and high, out of harms way, hidden for the most part by the license plate from prying eyes. I continue to struggle with a spare tire option for the rear, but we will work it out.
Prior USMC ... high speed low drag... not a fan of large columns either. "i made Lance Corporal three times!"

Great set up... Look into cutting out the fenders for larger tires instead of giving it a lift in future... see my dodge cummins running 41.5" tires

In one of your other pictures it looks like you have fender liners, mind posting a pic and some info? I’m on 40s with no lift and have been torn how I want to tackle the fender liners
 
I "stiched" them after cutting out the square ridge that was in the way then ran RTV over the top of the stitching. For the stitches I used Zip ties. They have held for 3 years now with no signs of breaking.

Testing fit up of Alu Cab RTT on DTC. After test drive came back and move RTT to the rear and down to Cab level. It sticks out about 6 inches beyond rear bumper.
