Default Winch and bumper fit ??????

I have the Smittybilt XRC front bumper and I just ordered a Superwinch epi 9.0. Will this winch fit my bumper or will I need to drill. If anyone has any info on this it woul be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure you won't have to drill anything. As I recall, with the JK's most bumpers allow the winch to be bolted in between the front chasis bars as it sits in the bumper. I know bumpers like Warn and the factory ones require a mounting plate. But you'll be fine! Overall, no matter what bumper you have, no drilling is required.

The fitting specs for Warn and Superwinch are exactly the same. I have an AEV bumper which is design with a Warn spec winch in mind and my superwinch ep. 90 fits like a glove.

you are going to love the Superwinch...
