I saw the 2nd gen when I reread. I had thought I would have to remove mine on my 85, but I was able to squeeze it up in there....

The basic mounting and wiring should be similar though, except your bumper/winch assy. will be heavier when putting back... It was heavy enough separate... I'd get a fried or two to help lift and wrench... Good luck. I like OOP's idea for a HD battery/winch disconnect switch. He's got some other great ideas on his rig which I saw when he picked up a spare front axle from me a year or two ago...
