OK so today I picked up an older Warn winch it is the motor over winch drum style and it has been rebuilt and refurbished. I picked it up for $200 bucks with a new fairlead and 150' of cable.
I am looking for a winch plate right now but does anyone have any pics of this style of winch mounted to a stock bumper???
It's a long shot but someone must have this style winch

 

Lets see some 8274's on JK's

 

They are still available new and cost around ten times what you paid. I'd say you got a good deal.



Just so you know.....you SUCK. LMAO

 

You paid $200 for a refurbished 8274?

I hope you at least bought the seller dinner before you stuck it to them

 

I don't know that it is an 8274, but his description made me believe it was. If so, yes he got a very good deal.

 

Yeah I looked around at pics of the 8274 and that is exactly what I bought. he wanted $300 but it looked like he wanted a case of beer more so I offered 200 and he took it.

 

So I am guessing these winches are sought after... even though there colosal size!
the guy I bought it from said it would pull his old YJ through and over anything. It has been sitting but we hooked it up to a battery and it worked great

 

they have really fast pull. Get used in competition a lot because of it. Only downsides I know of is it mounts in the front and some say it blocks air to the radiator. You got a hell of a deal. Ill buy it if you don't like it!

 

lol not looking to sell it, just trying to find a winch plate for the stock bumper at a reasonable price... so far I found one for $370 I am hoping to find a universal one somewhere

 

problem with most universal plates is they are for bottom mount winches and that thing needs a plate in the front to bolt up to. Every mount I have seen for those is expensive.
