Hey guys.

I am looking for a way to mount my new Warn Winch on the truck (05 1 ton), but I want to do it in the "cleanest" way I can. So in other words, I don't want a big huge bumper.

How do Powerwagons mount their winch, and, can I use the same mount behind my stock bumper? How big a winch?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks guys.

Unfortunetly that mount can not be used on our trucks due to our intercooler. The Warn Trans4mer is pretty nifty, that's the one I am looking at getting. But that will only work for you if you are looking for a brush guard as well.

Thanks for the info. No, I don't want the bushguard... Its gonna be tough.

If you bought a front mount hitch, you could get the winches that mount in the reciever, and that way you can use it front or rear if needed.

I like the look of the Road Armor bumpers they seam to have one of the cleaniest looks, www.roadarmor.com

a little pricey

Igor, go with the Warn Transformer kit - I installed mine by myself over a weekend. Yeah, you do need to drill the frame, but it's in the area that's not supporting much other than the bumper. Warn also gives you the anti-crush spacers and pretty good directions - just read and follow. The nice thing is that all the bolts and holes really do line up - not something that I can say happens when you mix vendors. By the way, the brush guards might be optional (check with the Warn catalog) - I have them, and they're not at all flimsy.

Thanks guys.

I don't like aftermarket bumpers, but that armour stealth one looks pretty good. I wish they had more pics of it without the bush guard stuff added on.

Thanks again.
