Santa brought me a new FAB Fours Lifestyle bumper for xmas. Hoping to get a Smittybilt XRC 10 Comp Series winch.

My question is do I need a mounting plate for this or will it bolt right up to the new front bumper. Excuse my negligence on this... newbie winch guy!

 

No winch plate necessary! It just bolts right in!

 

Figured so - but didn't want to assume! Thanks!

 

I don't know how the smittybuilt will line up but my warn was a perfect fit. No additional drilling necessary.

 

which warn do you have... considering the smittybilt bc its a good price ... looking for something fairly "light" but stout.

 

Check the Engo. Has been having great reviews, including in a very recent magazine test where in performance it ended in first place.

I installed it in a LoD and the weight of both did not bulge the stock suspension. That is, no need for leveling kits.

In time, mine has synthetic line. Huge weight difference and based on virtually all threads in this forum and others as well as articles, etc. a much better option than steel cable.
