After doing all the prefitting, drilling, grinding, sanding, filling, bleeding, and painting I got the whole thing together today.

Yes. It turned out great. The mounting plate was a piece of cake. It was cutting the bumper for the lights and fairlead that was tough. Trying not to damage the paint while doing the cutting and drilling. I like the look.

The first 55 model made by Chris arrived and after some careful details worked out I believe this mount is dialed in. Powdered in satin black and a very nice gently used and thoroughly gone through 8274 by @Forerunner here we have another item checked off. Enjoy! Thanks again Chris!

My parts have been successfully installed using oem frame extensions. @Blastservices can chime in on the specifics of what he did to make it work!

Chris has the correct measurements to make a mount that slides right into a factory set of frame extenders. The winch mount holes on the plate should be shifted from his current measurements about an 1” to the driver (left) in order to be able to still slide the crank to turn the motor over.
