[QUOTE="Dane, post: 268670, member: 2494"] Warns will fit it - same bolt pattern. I believe it was specifically made for the Warn 9,000 anyway. Do you have to mod the bottom grill and bumper slightly to install the winch plate. You have to remove that bottom grill and bend or remove the little tabs on the bumper where it attached. You can get away with just bending those, but I had to remove the two bottom outter ones where I also installed lights. In addition you have to bend or remove this 1" tab from the bumper - I highly recommend removing that one instead of bending it. It's pointless anyway. You do have to remove your bumper/skid plate to install the winch plate. Also, make sure you have a 5/8" drill bit for the frame and if at all possible a close quarters drill able to use that bit. The second set of 5/8"s holes you have to drill is a real pain to get to. Also, that rubber dust cover thing won't fit afterwards, but it's really close. I used zip ties to bridge the gap rather than the push pins that won't reach any more. I believe SDHQ just cuts it. The bumper isn't heavy, but it's a real pain by yourself to install or remove cause it gets hung up on the body plastic. [/QUOTE]
