Re: $40 HF hidden winch mount

Yep that's the one I used. You could bolt it to the top of the frame rails but I don't want to add more holes to the frame if I can avoid it. The frame rails aren't perfectly flat in that area, slopes down in the front, so you may need to shim it a little to go that route.

There is only about 24" between the frame rails and the winch mount is 36" long. All I had to do to get it to fit is trim 6" off the legs on each end and grinded the corners that hit the bumper a little to allow it to set as far forward as it could. I'll probably cut a few inches off each end too after I decide how I'm going to bolt it in. Wish they didn't put so many holes in the mount but no one's going to see it once installed.
