If I buy this bumper, and I want to buy a winch, what else will I need to buy to mount the winch and make it operable? Thanks (NEWBIE)

The winch will come with all the bolts you need.Just be sure to put the winch on first before you put the bumper on.

This bumper ha s 1/4" winch mount plate on it, you would need a winch and a roller fair lead

Most winch bolt patterns are the same and mine was bolt on...but the bumper needs to be off the jeep...I bought some marine battery terminals With posts for an easy power connection..

Hey matt, when you buy the bumper, you don't need to put a mounting plate on it. And you will need a fairlead. Most winches come with them, although my winch was slightly undersized for this bumper I did have to redrill holes, but other then that the bumper is amazing.

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 had to fabricate a bracket to mount the Winch Solenoid Pack but the winch ( Warn M8000 ) fit perfectly to the bumper.

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

It should be compatible with that winch. The fairlead holes are pretty standard. Just know that the pre-drilled holes in the base of this plate may not work for your bumper.

Agree that the 2008 YJ IS A UNICORN. LOL But if it's a 2008, and I could be wrong on this, but it's my understanding that your stock bumper will not be strong enough to withstand the forces a winch can put out. It needs to be tied directly into the frame of the vehicle. You might be able to find a bracket or plate that "grabs" both front frame rails. Rough Country comes to mind. Or maybe you could have a front receiver mounted and pull from that. I have one for the rear of one of my rigs. Allows me to move the winch from front to back. Nice! Hope this helps. Good wheeling!

The winch. The synthetic line and hook. The hawse fair-lead although it is matte finished not polished. The control switch. Positive and Ground cables long enough to hook it up in a Jeep Wrangler. Which has the battery located at the fire wall so they are probably long enough for most vehicles. And mounting bolts. It has pretty much everything you need to install it accept the winch plate. I bought my winch plate here on Amazon as well. If you have a bumper designed to mount a winch inside you may not need the plate. In that case check with the manufacture of the bumper to see if this winch will fit.

I think the winch would go under the bow bar but had to take the stock rubber bumper guards off to mount bow bar.

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

You will need to get a mounting bracket that is built for you vehicle. The one with the winch is a generic plate and will not work with your unit. Google mounting plates for winches and you will be able to get one that is designed for your vehicle.

It has a ton of room and almost any winch will fit. The bumper comes in two parts the first part replaces the stock impact bar and holds the winch. The 2nd part is the bumper outer. This is the nicer part about this setup because it gives you lots of room to work and hook everything up.

I would check thru Superwinch or Warn winches to see if they offer a hidden winch mount to make it look factory. Most winch mounts have the same bolting pattern for the winch. Otherwise another option is new bumper that has a winch mount.

All of the Smittybilt automotive winches will work with the ARB Bumpers. Please let us know if you need anything further - we also have some additional discounts this month. 714-993-2011

You won't need a winch plate to put a smittybilt winch on a smittybilt bumper. The holes are already pre drilled. Just bolt it on

This one is meant to be used with the stock bumper. I'm not confident it would work with a non stock bumper, winch plate or no. Mounted with the stock bumper, there is only about 4 - 5 inches clearance beneath the bar for a winch. It would need to be a pretty low profile winch.

I have an XRC bumper, the fairlead mounted directly to it. Most bumpers either have mounting holes or they are incorporated into the winch mount plate, such as the Rough Country 1189.

I found this controller here on amazon, and it should be compatible with this winch. The controller:

The bumper is already pre-drilled with holes for a winch. They perfectly aligned with my smittybilt x2o winch.

The 2500# Badlands winch works but an additional mounting plate was required. Easy to fabricate if you have necessary tools. I used a peice of 1/4" flate plate drilled and cut it to size needed.
