TALL WINCH? (1 Viewer)

[Ruquik]

I have a Warn PowerPlant 12 on the front of my YJ. I also have a Warn 9500HSi on the shelf. I would in theory like to consider swaping the winches out and putting the PowerPlant on LC in a a bumper like the ARB.

Does any
one know if it will work or be trimmed to work?

You would need to do a good amount of cutting and welding. Then reinforce the main bumper body to handle not having most of the upper part of the bumper.

If you don't want to do the work yourself, it would probably the same price to have some fabricate you a bumper that works with a power plant for the get go.

I would design my own bumper fabricated bumper if it came down to it, but it's so much easier to modify.

The one thing i absolutely had about most fabricated custom bumpers is the lack of plating like how they do it down under..

I have a friend that modified the ARB on my old Tahoe to accept a PowerPlant HD (12,000lbs). I would assume the LC would be a similar modification. He welded in a new plate for mounting the winch (since it's not mounted feet forward like others). It can be done, but I'm with others in suggesting a custom bumper or getting a separate compressor/winch setup.
