The bracket is available in Raw bare steel and Powder Coat finish variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClean Routing Without Cutting New Holes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Winch Relocation Bracket attaches using the factory holes already present in the 3rd Gen Tacoma grille supports, so no new holes need to be drilled for a Warn Evo installation. The included hardware secures the bracket directly to these existing mounting points, keeping the installation straightforward and the result tidy. Test fitting before any coating is recommended to confirm alignment before committing to a finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eController Access and Protection in One Move\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelocating the winch controller behind the grille puts it closer to the winch itself, which simplifies maintenance access compared to a cab-mounted or externally routed controller. The grille position also shields the controller from direct exposure to trail debris and dirt, reducing wear on the connector and housing over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for Warn Evo, Adaptable for Others\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracket is engineered to fit Warn Evo winch control packs without modification. Owners running a different control pack can adapt the bracket with minimal additional drilling to accommodate other pack dimensions. Warn Evo fitment is the out-of-the-box case; other control packs require some additional work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory-hole mounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e attaches to existing grille support holes on 3rd Gen Tacomas, no new drilling required for Warn Evo fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware included:\u003c\/strong\u003e all necessary mounting hardware ships with the bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarn Evo compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed specifically for Warn Evo control packs; adaptable for other packs with minor drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e made from steel in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo finish options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw bare steel (requires painting or powder coating before installation) and Powder Coat (ready to install)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFinish Options\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRaw (bare steel); Powder Coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAll mounting hardware included\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePrimary Winch Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWarn Evo control packs\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis bracket suits 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma owners who have a winch installed and want to relocate the controller behind the grille for cleaner routing, easier maintenance access, and better protection from trail debris. It is a direct fit for Warn Evo control packs with no modification required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis bracket does not fit 1st or 2nd Gen Tacomas or other vehicle platforms. Fitment with control packs other than Warn Evo requires additional drilling. The Raw variant is not ready to install as shipped and must be painted or powder coated before installation to prevent rust. The winch itself is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhich winches does this bracket fit without modification?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe C4 Fabrication Winch Relocation Bracket is designed to fit Warn Evo control packs without any modification. Owners using a different brand or model of control pack can adapt the bracket with minimal additional drilling, though the exact fit will depend on the control pack's dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the Raw finish variant need any treatment before installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Raw variant ships as bare steel and must be painted or powder coated before installation to prevent rust. C4 Fabrication recommends test fitting the bracket first to confirm alignment and fitment before applying any coating. The Powder Coat variant is finished and ready to install as shipped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes installing this bracket require drilling into the Tacoma?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eFor Warn Evo control packs, the Winch Relocation Bracket uses the factory holes already present in the 3rd Gen Tacoma grille supports, so no new drilling is required. Adapting the bracket to fit a different control pack may require some additional drilling depending on that pack's size and shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat hardware is included with the bracket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eAll mounting hardware necessary to install the C4 Fabrication Winch Relocation Bracket on a 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma is included in the box. No separate hardware purchase is needed for a standard Warn Evo installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhich Tacoma generations does this bracket fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe C4 Fabrication Winch Relocation Bracket is designed specifically for the 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma and uses that generation's factory grille support holes for mounting.
