yes, i run a Smittybilt XRC Comp Series 10 and no problem fitting this on the winch plate, the solonoid needs to be mounted over the cable and not the motor though, painted my solonoid black, same powder coat finish as the bumper and blends in very nicely.

You guys that installed this in an hour(s) are studs ..... granted mine is the first generation, but cutting out the pieces of the old bumper, painting etc. and all the other crap took me ALL day, and some of the next. Love the AEV stuff, amazing quality finish on the bumpers/skids. Just wish the hardware finish was up to the same level. Many of the bolts supplied have been replace with different finished fasteners to get rid of the rust.

If you drive in the northeast in the winter you will soon see what I mean.
