Has anybody used the warn #38671 winch mount with the warn 8274 winch on their TJ? If so how has it held up, looking at the pictures it doesn't seem that the mounting to the frame d seems real sturdy. Or am I better off just making my own mount? Any help would be appreciated.
Warn 8274 Winch Mount

I've not used the Warn mount on my TJ but I did have the similar mount on my YJ & it worked great with a lot of hard pulls on it with never any issues.
It mounts to the stock bumper mounting locations so I'm not sure what you are seeing as an issue?
@Blackjack do you have any input?

Works just fine and it mounts just like any other non 8274 winch plate out there.
Caution that the 8274 has a non-standard bolt pattern where it bolts to the mount, you need a winch mount specifically designed for the 8274.
It's all good. And your comment might help someone else at some point.
I am running this one which looks roughly like the same design. I have done some heavy pulls on it and it flexes but holds strong. I would have no concerns running any Warn branded mount.

Last time I checked Barnes has the parts to fabricate a mount not a ready to bolt on one like the Warn.

This may be the one he’s referencing.. I just emailed the company to ask if it bolts to the stock front bumper.
Stock front bumper doesn’t have enough meat to handle a winch being attached to it.
