guys, on the cover front...i bought one for my last one...a really expensive one that accomadates a winch with solenoid in upper left side. i think i paid 50 or 60 and it is good material (think warn). id be up for selling it....PM me.
anyway, point is that after leaving cover on, it creates moisture underneath and can aactually cause more issues than not. with steel line (now i have synthenic) its definitely bad cause it could cause line to rust out and after less than a year, it was showing premature signs...yet i never kept stell line lubed either.. keep this in mind when and if you buy one. guys at Q-tec...and i asked several...seem to generally NOT cover theirs. just my :twocents:
on another note, does not look like i can make it

This is a great point to take the cover off on nice days, but road salt will take your winch out in one bad winter. I would take this all in and use a cover on salty days and snowy days, then take off for any sun!

its a good point. definitely cover up during winter storms..
otherwise i leave it off. although i will say this last winter...here in NJ, i didnt cover up....but i am also an anal freak that will wash my jeep so long as it's 30 degrees and above to get all salt off (yes, powerwashing undercarriage each time too) :crazyeyes:

Quadratecs winch manual actually tells you to go out at least once a week with a hot bucket of water to get the salt off of the winch to help keep it from rusting in the winter :yup:

I did this on mine. It makes for a very clean install and hides most of the winch. It works well and keeps a lot of dirt and crap off the winch and line. The plate is made of 1/8" aluminum so the holes were easy to cut.
Hidden in there is a Warn M8000 winch.
Here is the best pic I have of the cover plate. You can see the hole so you can engage the clutch.
The red handle is a power cutoff switch for the winch.

Ty it would be awesome to see you guys again. If you can't get the romance the wife's wants on this trip tell her you will make it up to her later. This trip is for meeting new people and having a good time. She will enjoy it.
