GRMhick 03-26-2003, 12:10 AM Do any companys sell pre-made universial winch plates or do i have to get scrap steel and make my own? I could have sworn warn made them, but I couldnt seem to find them. Any ideas? All i seem to find is jeep kits, and at $120, I would rather go the scrap steel route. Garrett BTW, it is a warn m8000 winch fj40guy 03-26-2003, 10:36 AM Originally posted by Hick Do any companys sell pre-made universial winch plates or do i have to get scrap steel and make my own?

Garrett BTW, it is a warn m8000 winch I've seen commerical plates.... one example (bolts on a stock FJ40): Mounting Plate (http://store.yahoo.com/coolfj40/winmounchan.html) But for $80.... head out to BLUE COLLAR SUPPLY and pickup a hunk of metal for $10, and drill it. Add a angle iron (for the hawse fairlead)... you're in business. Seems like you should be able to make up something fairly decent for under $20.00.... $10 for scrap metal, $5 for some beer, $5 to add to the "welding supply fund" Tom :usa: bluesman2a 03-26-2003, 10:56 AM just finished this one: http://www.printroom.com/EditAlbum.asp?album_id=136472 made the plate out of 8" wide by 1/4 thick channel. just about perfect for an hs9500i. We got a 20' stick for $57 new, it was enough for 6 plates. yotayard 03-26-2003, 11:12 AM Originally posted by bluesman2a just finished this one: http://www.printroom.com/EditAlbum.asp?album_id=136472 made the plate out of 8" wide by 1/4 thick channel. just about perfect for an hs9500i.
