A few months back I bought a paramount restyling (e-autogrilles) bumper. It has a spot to mount a fair lead. I bought a xrc8 and a smittybilt winch mount but it appears as if I'll have to hack up the bumper that is "winch ready"

Is there another mount I can buy that will mount to the winch and bumper? I'll attach pics of the mount and the top of the bumper.

Thanks in advance.

 

what will you have to hack up? Where the fairlead goes or something?

 

No I will have to cut quite a bit out of the top of the bumper as depicted in this better angle pic...the smittybilt mount has 2 "legs" on it that bolt to the frame rails. I would have to cut the bumper so these could be mounted.

 

Why do you try to install a winch mount on a winch-ready bumper!?
Just mount the winch on top of the bumper without the winch mount and you'll be fine. That's what winch-ready means!

 

Winch on eBay bumper. Mounted up perfect. No extra winch plate needed.

 

Honestly, because I didnt think that the 4 bolts that would attach the winch would be strong enough. But if it can be mounted straight to the bumper than thatll be the way!

 

Your bumper is already prepped with industry standard bolt holes.

Rock on!

 

Mount it up you will be fine
