Hi Kate,

I have the warn mount plate and a warn XD9000i on the front of my 05
rubicon. If you wish I can take measurements and detailed pics. Let
me know, unless someone else comes through.

Gotta hit the sack. Take care,

Update
 

Thanks to everyone for the words of advice.

Hubby looked at it and tells me he is planning to just build me a front
bumper (much like the ARB) that has the winch mount incorporated into it.

So, what would have been a half day project, likely will not see the light
of day until next spring the way he procrastinates- damnit.

Heh.... I'll get him.... I'll strap it on with Zip ties just to goad him
into it.

Thanks again eveyone, as soon as he gets it built, I'll post some pics. just
don't hold your breath.

Just food for thought. My dad welds alot for his pleasure. He has
built me a steering box protector, both front and rear of his bumpers
on his grand wagoneer, his rear rack, and my gas can holder on the
rear of my garvin bumper.

Welding is alot of fun etc, but I will say this. With the cost of
steel today, you might actually be better off buying one from a
vendor, just in case it turns out poorly. The cost of doing it twice
will start to hurt and push it more over the cost of a mass produced
bumper.

BTW, if you still want more detailed pics of my warn mount (with tape
meaure in place), let me know. Glad I checked, I was just about to
take pics. :)

Take care,
