I am having a hard time finding a supplier for a mount to install a winch on the front of my 2000 Dakota. It is a quad cab 4x4 4.7L v8 5 speed manual. I have not purchased a winch yet. I would like to install it in a manner that looks like it was factory installed, behind the bumper. I have a chrome bumper, factory installed I think. I have only had it for a year. Any one know were I can shop on line for such a DIY kit or fully assembled and I just need to remove the front bumper.

 

No aftermarket bumpers that I know of, much less a winch mountable. Most are custom built like Tom A's.

 

Stock bumper wont let it fit. Unless you do a rad and condenser delete. Only options are front hitch mount or aftermarket off road bumper. I had a milemarker winch and tow hitch cradle for my dakota.. Worked pretty good.

 

What they said. You'd be lucky to fit a 2000lb. ATV winch behind the bumper, and the brackets probably still wouldn't be strong enough.
