I had it grounded, but I assure you it will not be mounted to a piece of plastic ever again! I should have known better in the first place, lol. Anyways, still working on getting some pics together, I think the place Ive got it now will work really well. I have a tube style bumper on the front made by a fellow board member (novacayne75) and the winch plate just so happen to have two holes on it spaced exactly the distance apart that I needed for my mount to mount to, so I went with that. Hopefully I will get some pics soon so you guys can see what im talking about.
