i think you can mount the control box not right next to it...... but judging from taco stuff it could be very close to fitting in yours if we move that control box... maybe you can go to HF and measure it yourself lmao

ya it comes with mounts to either mount it on top on the motor or to the side like i did....but since i put it on a receiver type setup and its going to be moved from the front to the back i needed it at flat as i could get it.

[RedRunnertc]

I want to do the same thing. I have heard that you should use more than one receiver tube to hold the weight, etc.

Did you just use one receiver tube, or add extras? If you just did one, is it pretty stable?

[Lysmachia]

Wait - let me get this straight - you have F&R winches? Man I am not jealous! At least you can drive in back of josh now and pull him off of shizzy when he gets stuck on his Diff! LMAO
