Its clean trail tested and something I can mark done off the list . Problem is that I have searched and not found an 8274 mounted on the savvy front.

I am making sure we are not going to impeade airflow to the cooling stack. That can open another can of worms.

Will be running a manual transmission so the cooling stack will consist of
Radiator A/C and PS cooler. I know you guys run out in the heat there in the proving grounds and just dont want to set myself up for failure IE cooling issues .....

Borrowed this from the interweb. You add the light bar ect that thing takes up a bunch of real estate. BTW thats some custom steering in the pic .
 
I can't answer as to fitment on a Savvy bumper but I've had one mounted on every Jeep I've owned over the past 30 years.
The blocking of cooling has never been a issue for me. I had a 8274 on my YJ when I was stationed at Ft. Ord near Monterey, CA.
It's my favorite winch hands down.

It's a complete/total non-issue for the OE Mopar cooling system.

That’s my Jeep in the photo. I have since moved to a different setup. If anyone wants the warn 8274 plate pm me I’m selling it for cheap. As for the custom steering that’s a zj setup that was “customized” by rocks lol. I have also since moved onto Currie steering. The current bumper is custom built from a guy on another forum and I used a genright mounting plate and steering box skid.

I can't tell you which mounting plate will work with a Savvy bumper.
As Jerry said cooling isn't a issue. Even with my V-8 swap I never had cooling problems and I live in central WA where it's 100* during the summer.
Good luck.

I used the Warn mounting plate on my YJ. The one on my TJ is a custom setup .

Thanks you all I appreciate all the replies. We had a jk with a 5.7 hemi and a getrash I mean getrag 238 6 spd swap that we ran for a few years that had opened a can of worms with the cooling system. I really do not want to travel down that road again !

Although I don’t have any pictures, and can’t currently take any because the parts are at the powder-coater, I used a Barnes mounting bracket with the Savvy front bumper/winch guard and OEM anti-roll bar. It’s a very tight fit, but it works. The back of the Barnes bracket needs to go very close to the anti-roll bar, and the winch guard ends up very close to the winch, but it does work. If you’re going with an Anti-rock setup, there’s much more room, but it does work either way, in my experience.
