No, that is it, the support brackets will hold the winch in place while you pick up the pins, so no fumbling around to reach them.
The brackets for the tow bar are deeper, just so that the box section is big/strong enough to cope with trailer.
My winch is hydraulic, so on quick couplings, if electric just use Anderson connectors.
So if electric, to move from back to front, (for example)
Disconnect Anderson connector.
Remove 2x pins, place in winch tray.
Pick up winch tray, notice handles incorporated into body and take to front of vehicle.
Slot into position.
Fit 2xpins and clips
Connect Anderson connector.
Good to go, 2 min max!

If setting it up like this, do NOT make the tolerances too tight, the idea is that is is secure but can cope with mud on fittings and pins, it is made to work, not to look pretty. 80" 1948
