thanks to any 1 thats comments or send pics .
 
Whats brand is it?
 
They are pretty heavy so if you go with the front or back mounting make sure you have someone there to help you carry it. It can become a pain in the ass because usually when you need it, you will be spot where it isn't easy to manuver around the Jeep. I would mount it on the front(not using the plate) and be done with it. If it's the winch from Sam's then I would leave it on the stock mounting plate.....casue you will be returning it when it blows up. I destroyed one the first time I used it.
 
it is the one off of ebay , vortex , it was $200 brand new . a it was worth a try . i have been debating on just mounting in the front . but i got the mount for free . . have u heard anything on the vortex 10,000lb winches?

thanks for responding
 
Good luck with it but winches are one of those "you get what you pay for" things.
