If one has a functional purpose for the Rigid's, then the price is justified and are worth every penny. They are high quality - you won't regret it.

Did you rotate the gear switch and electrical contacts to get the winch to fit correctly? Out of the box the contacts are facing the ground and the switch is facing the motor... mine needs to be rotated 90 degrees it seems... or mounted the opposite way you have it
Yes...you will need to clock it 90 degrees. It is a very simple process. Unscrew the 4 bolts, lift and turn, tighten 4 bolts if I remember correctly.

Question for you Smittybilt/ARB owners. For install does the bumper have to come off or did you install it from the bottom? Obviously looks like it would be an easier process with the bumper off the truck but more work in the long run
Assuming your winch fits, you can install it from the bottom. You'll want/need a helper though, because two of the bolts kind of stick into a recess. It'd be crazy hard to hold the winch in one arm and thread the bolt with another. 10 minute job with help.
