Winch Post Install Video

Gangly · March 13, 2023

I already posted about the hidden winch system I did for my truck, but I finally had a chance to do a quick video of it. The truck is on a lift because I just pulled the transfer case, another video forthcoming, but here is the video of what I did and how I did it.

Yes, I know I sound like a redneck and I know the truck is dirty, lol.

Do you have a link for the FabFours winch plate? This is diverting I've always been interested in doing in my 2020 Trail Boss. Now that my warranty is getting ready to expire, and I'm running out of things to do that won't affect the warranty, this is getting close to the top of list. I've been considering having a shop fabricate a winch mount. Your method might be a cheaper and easier direction to go.

I’m working out of town and the info you are looking for is at my office. I’ll get it posted as soon as I get back.

Looking at the install sheets I downloaded from Fab Fours before I did the install, it looks like I purchased the winch mount off of the Fab Fours Matrix kit. Again, I didn't purchase the bumper, just the winch plate. The winch plate will need additional holes cut for mounting the OEM tow hooks, and portions of the plate cut for proper fitment, but its very easy to do and requires very little overall cutting in areas that are not structurally important.

Thank you for the info
