Does this bar interfere with mounting a winch at all?

I would assume so, It does not sit very high off the bumper. I would suggest a large hoop or mini stinger style bar. I'm sure rugged ridge has some details in their winch plate mount instructions regarding required clearance.

Yes, the winch handle serves to wind or lower the steel cable the hook is attached to. Be advised my cable broke on less than 200lbs of weight (made in China)...I replaced it with another manual winch and cable (also from Amazon, but made in USA)...not hard to do.

The mounting screw increases the diameter of the mounting plug until the unit is snug in whatever handlebar you have. I'd be shocked if it didn't work for your application.

I was going to mount mine on a Grizzly but my winch was in the way. Plus, you would need an additional support bracket because my rack wasn't sturdy enough. I also had to brace the back bracket with some welded pieces.

Yes, the bar is mounted with a slight lean so you can lean it forward or back toward the grill. I had to flip mine from leaning forward to leaning back toward the grill when installing my Smittybilt winch as the bar covers the control plug point when leaning forward.

The previous answer is correct. The mounting plate is the key. Winch is excellent.

I use the winch that I bought for that purpose and it does not given me any problems but regarding its safety I think I am in no position to answer that .. Check the manual

I'm not sure I can answer this question directly. I'm going to assume that your brake cable is running along the top tube where you want to strap this over it? I just tried moving my HandleBand onto my handlebars and wrapped it around my shifter cables, and from what I can tell there, there would be no interference whatsoever. It is not built to be restrictive, but it is still very securely mounted.

I mounted a superwinch 8500 lb on mine. I'm pretty sure they use the same bolt pattern! I'd call curt to be safe. I have a receiver hitch on the front of my F250 and it is awesome to handle the winch due to its cradle design. Good lick

Not sure. I mounted mine on the brush guard on my Yamaha Rhino after cutting a hole in guard for the winch cable to go through.

There is not any pre-drilled holes for a winch and I would not mount one to mine. I think you would rip it off the front of the truck. Part of the brush guard is screwed to the front of the rad support.

It is irrelevant most likely because your winch has extra room. It is the best strap for the money, cheap enough to buy one every year. If you use your boat as much as I do, you can go through a strap every two years easy.

No, unless you rig something for it to attach to. It clips on to horizontal bars.

I no longer have this model, but I seem to recall it only was drilled for standard size winches. Not to say you can't drill the pattern yourself, there is plenty of space.

Yes. The mount is designed to be universal with different holes for mounting different winches. It should all bolt right up.

Bar was placed in afterwards. The mounts flex slightly and U can adjust the bar up or down. I tried mine in both positions.

The winch mounts to the receiver plate, the receiver plate mount inserts into any standard 2" receiver hitch regardless of make or model. I use mine on my car hauler trailer so I can easily remove the winch for storage.
