Should not cause any issues. Using the warn winch mount bracket, it just covers the bumper and leaves the grill and lower bumper holes open.

Make sure u fuse/install a circuit breaker to the power lead at the battery in case of rubbing action.

We run them on a lot of our trucks and the winch has never caused an issue with overheating while driving with heavy loads.
