The winch solenoids were moved under the hood next to the fire wall to keep them mud free. There is a winch control plug under the left head light and there is one on the dash inside the spot where the cig lighter used to be. (no more control wire running across the hood and dragging in the mud.) It has two d-rings on the front of it and two tow hooks on the frame rails.
