hey everyone,
so i wanna add a winch onto my truck, and a brush bar. but i cant find any brush bars that you can mount a winch onto. anyone help me with this on how to mount a winch on the front of my ram.

thanks in advance.

 

Custom. Fabricated.

 

I've not seen a brush guard that accepts a winch. For that you'd want a winch bumper. Check out brands like Buckstop, Ranch Hand, et cetera.

If you live where big game or livestock might be expected on the highway, a brush guard is a poor investment anyway. They tend to fold backward and do more damage than the animal alone would have.

 

Or get a front mount receiver hitch, and a mount plate for your winch. Run wires to both ends of the truck, and then you can use your winch coming, or going. Granted, they are a tad heavy.... trick would be have it mounted up if you think you are going to need it.

 

Is a brush guard the same thing as a grill guard? I saw this one the other day when looking at nerf bars and grill guards

ok thanks for the info guys. yeah i forgot about winch bumpers. main thing we have here is Deer. might go with the winch hitch mount idea.

 

This is what I have:
Keep in mind I have a 2" body lift so that's why the hitch is a tad bit lower.

 

Check with Warn because they make a brush guard mount they call the Transformer because you can just buy the winch mount and then add the other parts as you have the funds. I just don't know if they still make one for a 2nd gen. The other thing you can do is take a regular brush guard and then build a winch mount around it. I have done that on a buddies Mazda because there wasn't anything made for it.

 

This. That's the thing I linked a few posts up at carid.

 

Have any more pics from the side? What kind of winch?
