Questions & Answers

For a stock TJ bumper, how big do I need it?

Using this universal mounting plate, you can attach almost anything. It is easy for TJ to wear 34" and 36"

Do I need to remove the plastic cover on the sway bar in order to install this on my 1998 Jeep Wrangler?

If this were the case, and if it were a good, solid fit, then I would think so. If you gentle cut the end of the piece, you might be able to reinstall it to give it the look of the original. I would think you would have to cut into the bumper cover at the very least in order to run wiring if you mounted it on top of the bumper. My goal is to help you in some way with this.

How does this compare to a winch like the recon 10000?

That should be the case. Winch plates are fitted with bolt holes that follow the standard pattern. The first has a Smittybilt winch that can handle 10,000 pounds and the second, a Badlands that can handle 12,000. A standard bolt pattern is probably the case with the Recon winch.

What is the best way to mount this on Is there a Nissan frontier 4x4 on the market?

There is no doubt that it If you need to make adjustments or punch holes, you may need to

The winch has standard bolt pattern and offers good value for the price
5/5

The product is solid and has a good build quality for the price. Unlike some other designs, our cradle is not spot welded, but welded all along its length. It is possible to fold the cradle handles, but they will need to be loosening eight bolts, and four of them (on the bottom) need to be removed and placed in another Once the winch is installed, there is not much room between the handle bolts and the winch. My winch is made of synthetic rope, and I am using a hawse fairlead, which bolts up to the cradle without modification. There is no doubt that a roller fairlead will work just fine on this cradle as I have one on other winches. With this I am going to be able to use my Smittybilt X20 I doubt I will ever get close to even 12K with this cradle, even though it's supposed to hold 13,000 pounds.

I find it to be good quality, but it annoys me a bit
3/5

A full refund was granted when I purchased it Though I was hoping for a bigger winch, I was truly hoping that it would be compatible with ATVs These winches are styled after traditional In that sense, I mean prehistoric For the holes, I drilled holes. If a winch is needed, it can be used in an old-style manner. A bummer rather than a defect in the product. I will certainly purchase it again when I have a drill press so I can make it compatible.

I think this is a great buy
5/5

That is the best winch mounting plate for a receiver that I have seen. A very common task for me as a small shop owner is to show people how to attach winches to receiver hitches Our company has ordered many of these and this is an extremely robust product.

This is a great portable system
5/5

The product is easy to put together, and I can rely on it to pull me backwards when I'm riding on the back of my keep or when I'm on the back of my trailer.

It is universal
5/5

had to mount a winch using the mounting plate of the winch because the bumper didn't support mounting a winch To adapt the plate to the bumper, I had to trim the plate and drill holes. It looked like it was in good shape, and it looked strong. The product is good and I'd buy it.
