RRO Winch Kit & TH V6 w/Technology Package

I put out my feelers for a possible group by with a poll a few days, maybe a week ago. And it showed that only about 5 people were interested. Not exactly big numbers for RRO but I can run it by them IF there is enough interest. They'd like me to test this for a few weeks before they start making all the changes to all of the bumpers. So sorry guys but I've gotta make sure this works before it goes into production. The ONLY issue I'm currently having and I'll fix it when I get back to Texas is the "eye" needs to be aimed. The accident avoidance system is triggering on things it shouldn't. So I'll try re aiming it and see how that works. @FlyinRob901 The control box does actually HAVE to be mounted exactly how it's shown in the photos. The reason for this is on the V6 with everything there simply isn't room to have it located behind the bumper or under the hood. I have however passed the idea along and they are going to integrate it into the new systems when they decide I've tested mine enough to add a second set of holes to mount the control box further to the passenger side to clear up room to get the hood latch. The reason for them placing it directly in the middle was because they felt customers wanted more semitry (spelling), I told them I'd like it offset personally and that they should have a second set of holes to do just that, so they are going to do that. Also, yes while you lose the location to mount large auxiliary lights you still have the option to mount smaller square lights on either side of the control box. You also have the mounting tabs you can mount lights from. Personally I'm going to mount two smaller lights on either side of the control box pointed outward side to side and then mount a 10" light to the mounting tabs. @Wobbie Yes, I personally feel it's easy enough to open the hood still. Is it a little more difficult than before, yes. But it's no different then not know exactly where the hood latch is and searching for it. What you need to know however if you have the winch is that you need to close the hood slowly or it may hit the control box and wires.

@FlyinRob901 your sensors are going haywire because the brushguard needs to sit directly against the bumper. There can be NO space what so ever between them or the sensors trip it. As far as the eye you will get that error if the eye is obstructed. So something is in the way, trim, plastic, metal. Part of the reason a new cross member (winch mount) had to be made is because our tech package compatible bumpers and cross members are different than the non tech package vehicles. Also the new cross member forces the eye almost an inch lower and forward of its original mounting location. We are still having problems with mine that's why they are sending me new equipment to try, so the sensors won't get set off. The current theory is that your sensor holes are also not large enough. Mine are 1.5" tall by 2" wide currently. The new brushguard will have larger sensor holes to see if that helps because mine still get triggered occasionally. I am also providing the winch shots I said I wouldn't but eh can't hurt nothing. I just REALLY don't like opening my hood because of this. And @FlyinRob901 once you make the brushguard sit against the bumper your hood won't open either without literally curling or pushing the hood into the radiators. But be careful you don't push too hard, I ripped one of my horns off.
