If you have an old fashioned hardware store, just take one of those bolts and see if their 5/8” washers are big enough to fit around them—if not browse until you find something close enough. (I have the same mount and winch but no recollection of any washer issues)
What is the rating on that winch? 12,500 pounds of pull power?

Also, check the AC housing cover on your truck… does it have a vertical door panel to change the cabin air filters?Welcome to IH8MUD
Is the water ingress onto the passenger floorboard related to rain? Or to AC use?
Check to see if, during AC usage, water is dripping from the bottom of the air-conditioning coil housing.
If so, you need to replace the cooler packing… Toyota # 88578-47040.
This part is a small foam, worm like seal that installs into a groove in the cooler housing.
Best practice is to liberally apply silicone grease to the new cooler packing and massage it in. Then install.
This prevents the cooler packing from falling out of place during install, keeps the cooler packing from drying and failing, and increases the sealing ability of the new cooler packing.
Never use RTV or sealant on the cooler packing… you would literally be glueing together the cooler housing if you did that. Not good practice for an item that may require service.
Also, clean out the AC drain. The stock configuration of the 100 Series AC drain dumps out directly on top of the right hand front sway bar bushing mount… i’ll bet yours is rusty.
$12 AC extension kit from Cruiser Garage is excellent. Highly recommended.
I noticed a weird high pitched screaching yesterday but went away after a few seconds.
See picture attached, is this box under the passenger side glove compartment part of the AC condenser box? It is cold and has some condensation and was dripping and making the carpet wet.
I'm not sure what's wrong? AC seems to work correctly.
Please advise.
New simple kit to extend your AC drip line below the frame to prevent rust near the passenger side sway bar bracket. A must for all 100-series owners.

Thanks for the insight, gonna check that out. For now, I don't notice moisture accumulation from the coil-housing (I did have that issue on my previous vehicle, a 1st gen sequoia.) The water appears after rain. In between lectures this afternoon I went ahead and popped out the sunroof deflector and sunroof glass to access the drain ports and ran some weedeater trimmer cable down them. There was debris covering the entrance to the drain on the right side (the side of the cab that the water is accumulating in) so hopefully it really was that easy and not a windshield issue.Welcome to IH8MUD

The main issue is the heat of the engine bay. We have tried filaments that can be done with a Bambu printer that has the highest temp ratings and they do not survive. Up to about 230 degrees all is ok, but once you exceed 250 then they start deforming. I doubt TPU will be ok. Believe me if you saw the number of test pieces on my desk you will think I am terminal cover obsessed.
Nice! How's the access on this job? Do you need to remove the fan or rad to do it?
So it seems most can pull it out the bottom but I couldn't idk if it was because of my CSF radiator or what but I hat to pull it out the top just had to push the power steering pump around and remove the the intake tube and coolant overflow bottle.
