Hi thought i would show off my latest addition to my bus the mount is originally a generic demountable winch plate which i aqired
but without the mounting hardware so to make it fit i trimmed off the plastic from the lower bumper/fog lamp surround and removed
the plastic splash tray from in front of the X-member/radiator mount and offered up the plate to find the front of the plate was to high
to sit under the main bumper so i set to with the disk cutter and removed about a 2 inch strip from across the top of the plate and it
sat just nicely so a little welding later and the center box section was holding the mount in place and by cutting a 5 inch bit off
each end of the strip i removed earlier i then had to nice side braces welded in as well.
And if required i can remove the winch via the grille space.
the winch is a T-max 1250lb unit with pendant and wireless control.
