WTB: WTB Winch plate for TJ

[matkal]

Looking for simple and cheap, local preferred(North Detroit suburbs or the thumb) and yes I know about the HF plate, don't want one.

Thanks

If you have some fabrication skills make your own. I made mine so I could keep my setup with stock bumper and Curry Antirock - I only have a 9000Lb winch so made mine out of 3/4" aluminum plate bolted into frame-not bumper.

I thought about that and I still might do it if I don’t find what I’m looking for.

I made this plate up first to 4 bolt to frame and raise the height up so winch plate could cantilever over the stock bumper. I only have an 8000 lb winch (mis-stated above).

Then I used supplied winch plate on top- note I am over the bumper a bit so as not to block air.

I may get roasted here for putting on such a cheap winch LOL but what the heck- It was a floor demo i picked up with my desired synthetic cable for $139 with wired remote. And the wireless remote was only another $25 . So far so good.

I ended up finding a Warn raised mount for $50, I didn't necessarily want raised but it was too good of a deal to pass up.
