Nice.  Nothing beats an 8274 on the trail.  Should last forever, just watch the load on the cable - the 8274 is pretty cabable of snapping the stock 5/16 line.

Ref your license plate on the windshield, I found it convenient to loosen the roller fairlead and put the top of the plate just behind the fairlead.  Tighten the two fairlead bolts and the plate won't go anywhere.

You can also use mag-light clamps to clamp it to the rollers.

Or just bolt it to the bumper

Or just bolt it to the bumper

only problem with that is the plate tends to bend when you bury yourself in a snow pile..

Looks like he's got plenty of room to mount it above the rollers as well.

I have seen a bunch of plates get ripped off the bumper. The mag lite idea is cool. Yet then just one more thing to do when I get to trail and one more thing to tie down inside. I like the behind the fairlead idea as long as it doesnt restrict any more airfow than already restricted. It is going to stay where it is for now untill I put a replacement frame in. As for the legality of it I am not sure but visibility isnt an issue. I am illegal prob 5 other ways as well. But I always wear my seatbelt and I am not speeding anywhere on 35s with 373s.
