Pics of TT hidden winch mount on LX16+ ?

[Chrisleduc1]

A long shot I know, but wondering if any one has installed a TT hidden winch mount on a 16+ LX, or at least has pics of one installed?

I’m trying to see, in particular, what has to be done to the stock grille and what it will look like.

That isn't the TT mount. Could be in the similar location though.
Those guys mounted the winch to the aluminum crash bar from what I remember.
Which is not a good idea, at all.
TT's uses a steel plate.

If you search on Facebook for "ACC Garage” you will find their page. From there, scroll down their page about 15 posts back, to the (2) posts from August 30, 2017, and from the 29th and 28, and 25th. You can see all the pics and their comments on what they did. You will also see they did a custom job with a 200 series Prinsu rack. I would like to do the exact same thing. You can see some fairly detailed comments on what they did to make it work, on their posting from August 25.

See my comments to TeCKis above to get to the pics, but in short, it does not appear to be the TT mount.

Thanks! Got a closer look and there's some awesome things they did with that rig. Even a body mount chop for additional tire clearance?

Wow looks like a total hack job!

I'm far from a ME, though I do play Poly Bridge, but that doesn't look good.
For some reason that old video of the kids pulling a Geo Storm out of a snow bank and ripping the entire rear of the vehicle off comes to mind.
But hey, what do I know...

That is a total disaster waiting to happen... it is mounted (and poorly at that) to the aluminum cross bar vs. a hard mount to the frame like it should be. Wow.

It is not a Lx, but its similar. You have to make a very strong base.
