Sorry Rick argo only makes the one size winch mount made for the super winch they use. You will have to make an adapter bracket up to make your winch fit. Most welding shops will be able to help you out for a small price. ..Jerry

If the winch sits on the bracket ok, but the bolts holes are on the edge of the outer plate... I just ground V's in the plate for bolt clearance. The inner plate is what will support the pull, and it's wider than the outer.

Now if your winch is so wide that nothing seats on the plate .....

Maybe a simple solution is best.. find yourself a piece of diamond plate (steel or aluminum) and bend it into the shape you need to fit. My Fathers winch plate was made from diamond plate steel..and it worked slick.. just a suggestion

Thanks,I was hoping to buy one.I thought it would look more factory than what I could do.Matt said something about getting one for $45.00,when I talked to him at badlands .something about plow mount?! I wonder if Warn winchs are 5" apart for there holes to mount them.any one know? Rick

I don't know the mounting dimensions on the Warn, but they use a 4 bolt mounting system. The warn has to be mounted from te rear since the winch does not sit on a plate itself. I guess you could mount a plate under it with 2 holes drilled for mounting to the factory plate.
I looked at the warn and decided since I already had the winch bracket I would just suffer with the super winch.
