I got the kit from 4th Gen. Electronics, it's an OEM face and they just help with the wiring, wasn't that bad to install, sent good directions.

How did you mount the bar on the front?

We drilled some different holes on the mount that aligned with the bumper rear two factory holes and not the front one since its on a curve. I tried getting the same mount AEV uses with their light bar but neither the light company or AEV could remember the bracket number, hmmm. ?!?
Anyways, not sure that bracket would have worked but I would have liked to try the proper one first....

Can you access the winch?

I have the same or very similar set up with a ridigid 30 inch spot flood combo, which is bigger than the vision x light bar they sell for that bumper. I can access my whinch just fine.

Yes, winch is no problem, like Explorerinil said!

Do you get any sway bar or radius arm rub with the 13.5 wide Toyos and AEV rims? I am picking up a 3500 this week and going with AEV wheels but unsure about tires, I know AEV said they don't recommend a 13.5 wide tire, but it appears to be impossible to find tires that can match the load rating of the 13.5 Toyos, and I really want/need the capacity.
Full turning radius?

What’s your impression on the toyo mt now that you’ve had them for awhile? How’s the road noise with wear on them? Buy them again?

I run a 37.5x12.50r17 Nitto Ridge grapplers on my 3500. I haven’t had any issues. If I remember the capacity is like 3200lbs at 55psi which for me is more than enough at 6400lbs per axle.

It is, couldn't move it back further because the rigid bar is larger than the opening. I'm not in love with it, will probably change it out with something slimmer eventually.
It rubs slightly at full lock, it's not a huge issue if you really want to run that tire.
I like them, I'm at about 17,000 miles on them. They aren't terribly noisy, similar to other MT tires. I would buy them again but they don't make a 12.5 and thats the direction I'll likely go on my next set.
