Tried a search but no go. Can anyone tell me what Warn recommends the stock anchoring bolts w/square nuts be torqued to for an XD9000i? Thought I still had the owner's manual but apparently lost it.

I have the book for my x8000i at home....Can't remember. I keep thinking 30 ft. lbs. I just tightened mine up nice n' snug. I didn't want to go too nuts on them because I'm sure it would be easy to strip out those square nuts...

If you want to wait 5 hours, I can tell you the exact torque needed :D

tighten it as tight as you can get it with your weak hand then snug it a little more with you strong hand!
