Mounting the suck down winch today and it is going to be a pain with it in there. Has anyone else pulled theirs out? Thanks Alex

relocate the overflow with a longer hose somewhere else. i believe the overflow is a return as coolant is also pulled/sucked back into the radiator. if you get rid of it, plug up the line and check the level in the radiator every once in a while.

Relocate x2. When your coolant heats up and expands, it runs into the tank if the pressure exceeds the cap's rating. When it cools off it draws the coolant back out in the Rad (of course, this assumes you have an open system).

I ended up fitting it in. Just had to squeez the bottom to fit by the winch.
