It depends. If you have an aftermarket front bumper, it most likely has a winch mounting plate built in. If you are using the stock bumper you'll need a winch mounting plate. When I was using my stock front bumper with the winch, I was using the
Smittybilt winch mounting plate.
Sure, it's Smittybilt, but all of these winch mounting plates look the same, and they're just to mount the winch on, so you don't need to break the bank for something this simple.
In addition to that, the other thing I have is the
Warn Medium Duty Winching Kit. It's a bit pricey (because it's the Warn name), but I bought it because it included everything I needed to go along with the winch, in a handy bag to carry it in. You could piece the stuff together separately and probably come out a bit cheaper, but I liked that this had all the accessories I needed, and it was ready to go.
