Winch Mount option

[Ryan Wineinger]

In case anyone else out there is looking for a winch mount, but can't seem to find anything for the 20's yet.

We went ahead and ordered the Rough Country EXO winch mount specified for the '11-'19 GM and it ended up mounting with very little modifications to the brackets.

The frame spacing was nearly the same as the '18 that we have so we figured it was worth a shot.

The hole which has to align with the tow hook mounting bolt had to be slotted to match up, and we used a 1/2" SS extension plate to bolt to the bottom of the bracket and into the bottom of the frame rail since the frame is not boxed all the way to the end.

The Warn winch install was a breeze as to be expected.

We are very pleased with how it turned out for the most part, but would have liked to be able to order the mount without all the light openings as we already have a Whelen work light package.

(Don't mind the poor picture quality, I'll get some good photos uploaded after it's cleaned up)

Ground clearance of the RC for the win!
