Arb bumper. Which winch plate?

ALRIGHT I HAVE AN ARB BUMPER ON MY 1996 80 AND A HARBOR FREIGHT 12K WINCH.

This is the one I used. Right about $40 to your door.

Did it bolt right up?

If you have an ARB winch bumper, you do not need a winch plate, the winch should bolt up. At most, you might need the ARB winch spacer, depending on your winch dimensions.

The winch spacer P/N from ARB is: 3500050

I've installed 2 winches into 80 series ARB bumpers and never had to use a spacer, but lots of folks have (or have made spacers, or used washers).


For kicks, here are the ARB's instructions: http://store.arbusa.com/Assets/PDF/3411050i.pdf


Again, this all assumes you have the winch bumper.

Duh, what yohavos said. If you have an ARB bumper which already accepts a winch, you're golden. No plate needed.

Why did you use a winch plate? Am I missing something?

I mounted my winch behind the factory bumper.

I just mounted the HF 12k winch to the ARB on my 80 - no bracket needed. I used spacers and had no problem at all. Here is my thread -
