| Hey all,
Looking at getting a 4000 Viper elite winch but just curious do the JBS Splashguards interfere with the winch mounting?? I just have the standard Rhino front bumper on my '08 700. My real concern is whether or not the wide spool will fit with the splashguards in place. Flimmy is getting me some measurements but just curious if anyone has any experience with this.

Is that supposed to be 14 3/4 or 14 3/7 ?

| It was on it when I bought it I am asuming it is standerd spool. But I will be glad to take some pics for you if you like and maybe that could show what type of room is left to give you a better idea of what you are looking for. | |

| Lol it's supposed to be 3/4
If you have a carpet store around you go get a piece of the cardboard tube that the carpet is rolled up on from them and cut it to length add see if it fits | |

| 1st. Thanks for the info T. Rhino
2nd. Flimmy. I think it will fit with the splashguards with no problem. I measured mine and T.Rhino just verified. Just not sure about operating the release. Might do what james suggested and drill a hole. Gonna play around tonight and probably decide what to do by tomorrow.
