    Avid got me with their free snorkel promo. haha

    So I've got a Contour front bumper coming my way along with an Aero snorkel, which has got me looking into winches.

    I'm having a hard time finding any pictures of this bumper with a winch. Curious about what winches fit, and the logistics of plugging in the remote/accessing the clutch with the winch buried in the bumper.

    Anybody got some pictures/winch suggestions?

    I just started on this exact same build. I went with a Superwinch Tera 45, the mounting bolts are almost the same as the contours, I just have to widen them less than 1/10th an inch.

    Another option for you is the Viper Max 6000 that might fit and has more pulling strength. I went with the 4500 because I can always use a block to double the pulling strength and I don’t plan on being able to pull other vehicles bigger than the Renny.

    I’m halfway through the install, I’m actually waiting on my winch to arrive tomorrow. I’ll post some pics as it progresses.

    So the contour winch bolt pattern is near 3.0" x 4.87"?

    The bolt pattern for the contour is 3.0" x 6.59". And actually the Superwinch fit without any modification needed.

    Awesome! Did you figure anything out for accessing the release lever?

    I went with the superwinch terra 45sr. Fits perfectly and was a pretty easy install.
