I recently purchased a M8274 second hand for a really good price. I thought it would be easy to find a way to mount it or a bumper to fit it but I was mistaken. Does anyone have ideas or advice for utilizing this winch?

 

Should be fairly straight forward. Warn has a mounting plate for the JK. Here is the link to the Warn site.
"PN 74249 '07-11 Wrangler JK (Includes Rubicon & Unlimited)
For use with factory front bumper; Accepts WARN M8274-50 winch only"

Plug that P/N into the warn search site, it will bring it right up.

I had the 8274 on the old TJ, great great great great great winch.

 

I found that too, but I am really looking for a ne front bumper to fit this winch...Any ideas?

 

I think but am not sure that a warn bumper will fit that winch but you may not have the hoop o the front.

 

any bumpers that might fit it? I am considering fabrications to fit it in...

 

Find a bumper you like then contact the company to see if they can modify their bumper to fit the M8274.

 

Warn makes an 8274 bumper i'm pretty sure.
