I placed my order on friday and called on monday to confirm it was received, Fabtech told me it would ship out that day. Hopefully i didn't get some yay hoo on the phone that didn't know what was going on. I ordered it in black, did you get it in another color?
Oh, you do have to supply a winch plate. Any standard or universal one should work fine.

Sorry,color choice is black, they said it should be in by the end of the month, Just hope they stick to it or I'll get something else. If something is backordered for a couple weeks I can understand that , but any longer, I just as soon take my business elsewhere.

I still wonder how a long road trip would be and if the winch being that high would create cooling issues....

It would look good in the rough coat

No winch in my future for a while. Could probably get a welding shop to fab a recessed mount when I do decide to get one.
