Superwinch LP 10000 and ARB Bull Bar Bumper

[jvazquez53]

I just got a Superwinch LP10,000 for my FJ80 ARB bumper. This winch is no like those other in the market that you take the planetary assembly side and turn it and will fit directly on the bumper. Has anyone have one of these installed? As of now, it looks like I will have to come up with some kind of winch plate. Any ideas???

How about a picture?

Here goes. I'm going to try and see if by removing both ends it could be repositioned. If not, I saw a video on You tube that a 70 series with an ARB bull bar has one installed having the winch moved so the bottom bolts to the bumper. Looks funny but if it works, I'll go that way.

Are you sure that can not be clocked by removing the Allen head bolts at the ends and spin it 90 degrees. I did a google search when I did my engo and found a video on it.

Are you talking about the 4 large Allen bolts at the end? The left end can be rotated on all those Chinese winches (funny this one comes from China also). I' look into that tomorrow.

I bought an engo 10000 for my sons 80. It looks like your super winch. I found this info below on a search for rotating an engo. See if it sounds like yours. Be careful of the paper gasket when you pull it apart. I copied this from a different post:


1. Remove the end plate assembly (motor or gear box side) that you want to clock from the drum (4 allen head bolts).
2. Remove the 10 small allen head screws that hold the gear box (or motor) to the end plate.
3. Rotate the gear box relative to the plate to where you want it.
4. Reinstall the 10 screws.
5. Reassemble the end plate assembly onto the drum.


After removing the 10 allen screws, you need to separate the end plate from the gear box. Then you can clock it by one hole or 36 degrees.

There are typically 4 allen bolts that hold the end plates to the 2 rods that hold the plate to the rest of the winch assembly. 2 bolts for each side.

Tried to do this, everything fine except the control box is not held like other winches. Is bolted to the left plate plate. I don't know if this box can get wet since the bottom would be facing forward (if mounted using the winch mounts against the front part of the bumper) I would have to remove the control box and try to relocate it. This means modifications to the winch that will void the warranty. What I' m going to to is weld a reinforced plate to the top of the two rails on the ARB bumper and bolt it there. Pictures coming tomorrow.

Here is a picture of the small issue I'm having, two of these small screws. if I rotate the motor side, the solenoid box moves with the base. As of now, looks like I will have to weld a plate to support the winch with the mounting bolts facing down.

The winch will go attached to the bumper as is, no modifications.
