I can access the winch just fine with the door off to respool the cable, just can’t access the solenoid box as there just isn’t enough room. Bumper has to come off to get at it, so I figured once it’s off I relocate the solenoid to u derbthe hood for easy access to clean and maintain it. I thought I was a good mount to keep the winch clean as it’s well protected inside the bumper, but difficult to access for maintenance. It’s been in the bumper 10 years.

If it was me I would have the winch relocated to the top or front of the bumper where I could get at it.
