can you mount a winch behind this on the factory bumper?\

Yes but you'd have to be careful about the winch.... Plenty of room for a standard one but don't go too big

I don't know yet but it is my next move, I may have to make a custom plate or modify a Warren or Jeep mounting plate

that I can't answer as I don't know where you tie in the winch, the very assembly of this bar may interfere with it!

I would definitely not use this for a winch. This is a light duty for basically LED lighting only.

With the proper winch mount, you can. Most mounts are pretty universal, and are easy to put the winch on. Sometimes, you may have to some minor modifications.

It's is pretty simple. Mount the winch bracket first with the four bolts then mount winch to the bracket then mount the outer shell of the bumper

Sorry Thomas I installed a Warn M-8000 S in my Elite front bumper. There were mult. holes for different mounting plans, center, off set etc. I have read in a forum that people have installed non Warn winches without issues. I think that they have a standard bolt pattern. Good luck. Karle

Yes you will need a mounting plate or bumper mount for it. Excellent winch to have!!!

No, stock factory bumpers will not support a winch or the forces involved with a recovery operation. Depending on what you drive there may be options to keep your stock bumper and add in winch support frames/skeletons that will hold a winch and withstand the forces involved but keep a relatively looking stock bumper intact. I run one such system on my Jeep XJ. It's called the Detours USA Backbone bumper system. Do yourself a favor and buy an actual winch bumper or support. Even Wranglers require some kind of support plate to support a winch.

It bolt to the same mounts as the factory bumper. If you have an aftermarket bumper you will likely have to do some cutting

At 13" deep I don't believe your winch will sit in the space available, but I believe Smittybilt makes a winch plate for this bumper that should allow your winch to be properly mounted.

It will mount just about any winch because it has universal mounting holes. You still need the winch plate. It doesn't come with

Hmmm...do it yourself if possible. U will need a buddy to lift bumper/winch. But if not possible, make sure installers are careful with bending back AC Line (and i would use split wire looming to protect line from chafing). Next make sure the frame tie ins are installed so the winch bumper can't be pulled down and away from the frame under heavy winch operation.

Although this mounts to the frame, I would not recommend trying to modify it for a winch, as it would take extreme modifications and it probably would not have the necessary structural integrity . Besides there is really no room for a winch tray to mount it to. You might try the Westin HDX winch mount, or the Westin Sportsman winch mount systems. If you have any further inquiries, feel free to contact us. info@truckfinity.com Thanks.

Yes, the winch mounts inside the bumper before it is mounted to the frame. It is quite heavy. Therefore, I took it to a body shop. We trimmed the mud flaps and did the wiring at home

This bumper is set up to accept most winches as is. I put a Smittybilt 8 X2O on mine and it is great. You do need to put the winch on the bumper first before you install. If you intend to get a winch later, you will have to take the bumper off and then put it back on. Ray

I don't know of a winch mounting kit that you can buy. Here's a thought: Go to a hardware store or maybe auto-parts store and see if they have a mounting kit or "U" bolts that you can use for mounting your winch.

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.

I mounted mine behind the front bumper of me F-150. Make sure you mount it high enough to help prevent debris from getting in it.
