Bulldog Winch (20208 Winch Mount, Black

This is a SOLID heavy gauge steel mounting plate that fits perfectly in the Rubicon's Hard Rock stock bumper. It took me a total of about 4 hours installation by myself. Pretty simple install process and I could probably do it now in a couple hours. I read somewhere that it took 2 dudes something like 12 hours but they must have been blindfolded and tool ignorant because this thing was a piece of cake.NOTE: It comes with all applicable hardware. Use the 2 big bolts for the sides and the existing bolts in the factory bumper for the front mounting position. The only thing you will have to trim / grind off is the front arm of the vacuum canisters original mount. I just reused the rear arm of that same mount to reinstall the vacuum canister. (You really only need one bolt to hold it in place and upright).Yes I think it's kind of silly to shell out a couple hundred bones for a piece of steel but it's made specifically for the Hard Rock bumper and this one is the lowest price point I could find. Others are selling the EXACT same thing for about $40 more... which is silly. You're not going to fabricate something better so just get the correct thing that fits perfectly. It's a no brainer.Easy peasy. I should have made a youtube vid of it but didn't bother. I mounted a Smittybilt XRC 9500 winch which fit perfectly.

Don’t need a 12,000 winch! This 10.000 pound is very capable for my Rubicon. Already used on 2 recoveries successfully!Install was challenging, order a good mounting plate. Tight fit in my hard rock bumper and cutting out, relocating the vacuum was “fun”!Highly recommend!

Relatively easy install, just had to drill one hole in the vacuum canister bracket to swivel it about a half an inch to fit a warn evo 8s winch

High quality fit perfect until i went to put front winch cover on and the holes didn’t align. I had to drill a new one.

I agree with Michael. This mount is the only way to go if you have the 10th anniversary bumper or similar. Nicely made and fit and finish is top notch. The canister relocation bracket is the icing on the cake.There were a couple bolts missing because package was damaged in shipping, no big deal. All good as far as I'm concerned.

Over all the product was great . Looked good or I should say great , and It would have been easy to install . BUT it was NOT for my truck . Even though the lady I talked to stated it would fit and I asked if She was sure it would fit and she said it would fit BUT Boy was she wrong . She was very polite and seemed very knowledgeable . I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 and it was for a Jeep . It was 4 and a half inches too short on each end . I know some things are interchangeable but not in this case . I probably could have made it work but then I would have had to fabricate a bracket that went from one side of the frame to the other side and then bolted it to the bottom of the mount and the frame . I was able to return it for a full refund though , so I'm happy .

Worked as advertised. Perfect fit, it was missing two mounting bolts but I picked some up at the hardware store.

Very sturdy product, but had to come up with a few solutions for my Jeep. Of course, it was nothing too crazy nor outside the skillset of the 14 year old nephew I enlisted to help me. I added some notes to the images I attached.
