Here they are the finished winch mount installed.
Now all I need is someone to pull out of a ditch!

nice! I take it you have a hole for a pin so you can slide a drop hitch in?

 

Yea, the winch is set up to go either front or rear. If I want to hook up a trailer though I will need a LONG drop hitch to get it down low enough.

 

Nice design and construction. I like that it. It looks like a quality OEM or high end aftermarket part. Good work!

 

Looks good!

How much did you have to modify it from the original?

 

Not much:
No bottom gusset (not enough room
The angle needs a notch to narrow it down to 2 1/2" where it exits the hole in the bumper
Need new 2" bolts
Used 6 x 4 angle for the mounts (1 less weld)
I would use 3/16 plate for the bottom gusset (tight getting the bumper on)
Added a 1" ring around the end of the receiver tube
Angles I used are 30 inside and 15 at the 1st bend (both pieces
I only brought it out 4 3/4" fron the mount plane to keep it in tight.

 

Cool!

 

looks good!

 

SWEEEEEET!!!!!
