No need to open the hood, all you need to do is 'index' the selection lever so it's accessable by merely reaching under the bumper.
Although with the bottom mounting plate set up, it may change thing's enough to take that option off the check list.

You'll want to have the option to 'free spool', without a doubt and there's generally enough of an opening through the farlead to see the drum, no need to pop the hood.
Permanently mounting the winch controll switch inside is the only way to go.
Thing to do is get the winch tossed in under there and find the best solution to those pesky question's.
