Default Ramsey Winch Mount anyone?

Has anyone installed the Ramsey winch mount on their stock bumper? Do you know if the holes are aligned to work with Warn winches also?

I like the way it mounts to the bumper and doesn't require cutting anything. The hooks are also a nice feature. A bit pricey, but I think me likey.

Default mounting plate

Seems pricey, but if you're concerned about using a warn winch you could go this route for $30 less:

I think there is also one that Rough Country makes, i'm sure someone has the link

I looked at that one, but I'm not sure if the mounting hardware will interfere with my Expedition One Rubi Skid Plate. It looks like the Warn plate attaches to the sides of the frame rails where my skid plate is attached. It may require some modifications. The Ramsey mount seems easier to attach and doesn't interfere with the skid plate.

I need to send Warn an e-mail and see exactly how their mount works.

Thanks.

In my opinion, seems way too expensive. You can get a universal fit winch mount at harbor frieght door for almost one tenth the price. A little modification and it should fit fine.

That will likely require cutting into the bumper. I do not want to do that. I need a mount that will sit above the bumper. I e-mailed Expedition One and asked if they are working on something like this or if they could fab something custom for me. I'll post when I hear something.
