Re: winch plate
you need a plate really, you must bolt it to the end chassis holes along with a welded plate. if you dont, you will end up ripping the holes open. if your not sure pm me your e-mail and ill send some pics.. andy
Re: winch plate
got your replys,. your winch needs to be idealy just above the chassis legs, or if its higher make sure you weld in some sort of fillets, when you start winching the strain on the bumper/winch plate/chassis fixings,, (you start to wonder if something is going to give,, espesally when you pull another vehical out of a ditch).

Re: winch plate
