dude, i can't get my mile marker mount to work at all...

what was your part number? again, why was it so hard for you? instructions suck *** and nothing lines up...

please help...

That was my experience for sure. Every post I inserted pics of this mount I said what a PITA it was to install. I had to grind some parts and actually fab an extension bracket for the upper mount. You have to remove the factory tow hooks!

It took a lot of trying to figure out how to put it together, the main mounts go on the outside of the frame rails, the upper mounts go under the radiator, the plastic under bumper dam had to be notched to clear the main mounts. Some of the oem nuts with washers had to have the washers ground down to fit in the holes in the main mount....etc etc etc


good luck! I do hope you can make it work, it's nice once it's installed.

Part# 50-52025

maybe these pics will help:

yea, my brackets aren't even close...

how do you make a production part that doesn't work at all? not impressed...

verd... thanks for pics and getting back to me. The pics help, my main brackets have to be on the inside, but nothing still lines up.

but seeing this i will be contacting the seller and milemarker... this thing shouldn't be sold... i wouldn't put my name on it...

verdesardog

That's exactly the way I felt when installing mine! And I still feel they should not be selling these the way they are without improvements.

verdesardog

swap the brackets left to right, then they should fit on the outside of your frame rails....

my lower brackets only fit on the inside, has a weird offset bend in it the wont let it go on the other side

Have you gotten any resolution to your mounting problem yet? I would turely like to know.

Mile marker makes a nice hydraulic winch but thier mount really really sucks as far as installation goes!

Too bad you're so far away I would help you install it.
