Underneath. The stinger slides a bit past the receiver. It all misses the towing stuff, so we didn't have to spend time cutting things loose and re-welding.
The winch in place.
As low as it looks, it's still 18" off the ground.
I just picked up another 175 amp Anderson connector, with 5' of #0 wire installed. #0 (or 1 ott) wire is the size if a finger. I have a set of jumper cables that's #1 wire that hooks to the battery, then flops up and over the roof rack to the back end. That way, if I get stuck, I can pull myself back and off. With the Anderson installed (tonight) up front, flipping that cable set around will provide a set of jumper cables without opening the hood. They're 20' long, so they'll reach quite a ways.
On edit: notice the ring eye for the hook. On the first trip out, (see the thread about Godman) I had visions of the winch's freewheel release lever getting flipped, and having 85' of cable whipping around behind me on the road. :O If that happened on the front, I'd run over it to disaster. The ring eye is peace of mind.
