Fairlead bolts too big for Rough Country winch mount. Can I get smaller bolts- if so- what kind? Stainless? Drilling bigger holes- fearful of rusting.

Any grade 8 bolt will work. I don't have to worry about rust where I live but people up north rattle can with rustoleum. Hope that helps.

From what i understand the dimensions that you are looking at are the shipping dimensions, but the winch itself is way smaller and it seems that you have plenty of room to install several brands i think the mounting plate holes pattern is 4.5X10 which is the same on the Superwinch.You should have no problem, enjoy it

I used a 1/4" socket wrench with the hex drive bit to install the mounting bolts. If I recall, the threaded fasteners supplied have a thread-locking compound applied. I simply tightened the fasteners fully - without really "reefing" on them.They've remained in place an functional ever since (installed 6/14).

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.

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.

should work just fine. My Winch had 2 gauge and there was plenty of room in the connectors. My only other feedback on this connector is that it's not a real tight connection so make sure you have slack in your line or it has the potential to disconnect.

I think so bolt pattern is the same on most winches. The piece that surrounds the winch is made larger so that the terra series super winch will fit inside

It should fit fine as long as you have the right mounting bracket. Most of the winches are of comparable size.

It's pretty large. You can find a list of guaranteed to fit winches from the warrior website though.

Nope, just checked. It just needs two more millimeters. But you can go to home depot or whatever and get a longer bolt of the same diameter, it'll work perfectly.

This a review from Northern Tool. "Overall it is a very well built. Good quality welds, heavy duty, lots of support and a good powder coat finish. Its on par with the warn version but alot cheaper. My M8000 warn and our XD9000I both mounted up with no issues since it used the 10x4.5 configuration. If we hadnt had the fairlead issue we would have given it a 5 stars. The only issue we didnt like was we cant figure out what type of fairlead it was designed to be used with. I can tell you from the bolt spacing and postion that a regular warn winch fairlead will not work with this without a good bit of modifying the fairlead AND the winch mount. A call to Curt Mfg and they couldnt even tell us what it was designed to fit. That was kinda shoddy considering they were the manufacture. But a little time with a grinder, drill, and patience, and we got it where it should be ok and have the rollers work like they are supposed to and not mess up the cable." Dave M.

The winch plate has an integrated mount for the fairlead. I was very happy with my purchase. I don't have any experience with other manufacturer's winch plates but this one served it's purpose and the powder coat finish was decent too. I will post pictures of mine shortly

The fairlead is about 5 inches tall and the mounting bolts are half way up on each end. You need to be able to support it properly so that during use if the cable goes full left or right or up or down it won't come loose . depends on if your welding it on and where as to the function of the fairlead. Hard to say what yours is gonna look like but it needs to be strong and not let the cable drag over it at all.

I installed this plate on my 87 wrangler with a super winch 9500# and everything lined up perfect. If that helps? Any winch should mount to it.

I am a customer and have nothing to do with this store. I have bought many of these mounts they are very strong and very well made I sell them to go with my 8000 LBS Mile Marker winches in my store. This receiver is for the 2 inch type receiver. I am not sure if the bolt pattern is the same where the winch bolts to the plate. I just measured the bolt pattern is 10 " center to center of the holes for the lengh then inside of that is another set of holes that is 6 1/2 center to center. For the width I measured 4 1/2 " center to center and one end of the holes has a 1/2 adjustment making it a 1/2 longer or shorter .

Take the bolts and nuts to any ACE or True Value Hardware stores. The folks there should be able to find equivalent sizes (if not identical threading) to replace the stock hardware with longer versions. Go with stainless steel if you can find it -- the few bucks extra will be worth it once you see how quick regular steel hardware can rust (and forced to replace it over and over). Cheers and all the best, -Rob

You are not saying what "this" is that you want to fit on the mobile mount. If you mean a different brand of winch other than a Tuff Stuff winch you might have to do some drilling. Pete M.
