Winch mounting plate layout - Anyone have one?
 

What a happy day.
My Ex husband and his wife came to visit a few weeks ago. They took our
littlest Jeeper home for three weeks and he just brought him home last
night.
While they were here he told me that he had a Warn winch he would give me
for my Jeep. What a guy!

Last night, the winch came with him. It's a
Warn M8000, complete. Only been used twice.

I've been looking at mounting plates and find that they are a bit pricey.
Since the hubster is a helluva fabricator I am hoping that someone has a
layout they would be willing to share so that we don't have to reinvent the
wheel (so to speak)

Thanks in advance :¬D

The shortest distance between two points,
can be a lot more fun in a Jeep!

Kate,

If you go to a 4x4 shop and look at one, you'll understand. It sits on
top of the frame rails on front of the grille, and bolts down to the frame.
Center the winch on the place, mark the winche's holes, and drill. Bolt and
be happy.

Thanks Carl.
I'll go in to town tomorrow and see what I can find.
Not much in the area for 4x4 shops, and the ONE that we have carries very
little in stock.

I will try to find you a picture. The one I bought was 3/16" steel from
warn.
