Hey guys,

I picked up an older M12000 for a really good deal to put on to my TJ. After doing some research I figured out the winch is supposed to be mount foot forward. The winch also has a different bolt pattern (10” x 7” approx) than the newer standard pattern. As a result, I can’t find a winch mount plate to go with my stock bumper.. anybody with any experience on this stuff?

I bought the TMR 8274 mount, and made my own winch plate. I'm honestly not sure if the mount holes are the same between the 8274 and the M12000 or not though.

That looks like a great setup! Unfortunately, I am pretty sure the m12000 is much wider than the 8274, so that might not work. I would probably have to go the custom fabrication route if I can’t find anything to work with it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yeah, it doesn't seem like there's much (or anything) really available to mount that to a TJ. It wouldn't be too hard for someone to fab something up for that though.
