    I've searched around, and don't see specific info about this bumper... Hopefully someone knows the answers to a couple of questions?

    I am getting ready to mod a bumper and winch onto my 2018 Sr5 Tundra. I like the look of the Warn semi-hidden bumper. 4WheelParts has it for about $1200 cdn. Is there something similar I should look at? (in that price range).

    If anyone has installed this bumper, where's the best place to relocate the control box and plug? Some have suggested it be under the hood, while others cut into the bumper to create access.

    I have a block heater plug - what's the best way to deal with that?

    For occasional use, is a Warn VR10 good enough, (made in China), or better to go with the Warn Zeon 10,000 version (made in Oregon)?

    And, where do you put your license plates?

    Thanks for any help!

    I have a second Gen, and used a Smittybilt winch, but I also used the SDHQ hidden bumper. Had to cut the OEM bumper where the fairlead installs. They provide templates. I just mounted my license plate to the factory location, but used the bottom license plate holes.
    There are also brackets you can get to mount between fairlead and hidden bumper to hood the license plate. I tried one but the bumper interfered.
