Rough Country Hidden Winch Plate Install

[@julesgrosjean4966]

When did you realize the plate is one hole back from where it should be? Your winch will not mount in this position. You need to use both tow hook mount bolts then the 3rd one is the new one.

Floor jack with wood blocks to lift and hold the plate.

Have not found any video on this! Does the winch plate actually work After installed Or is it just for looks?

[@thunderjamm]

Were you able to put in the winch?

[@dublove1]

No, he mounted the plate incorrectly

[@85net]

Excellent video, you did a really good tutorial.

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

Thank you!

[@KILLAHJAYY]

your out of breath installing it thats when you know you put in real work

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

Very true, lol.

[@dsatch83]

Looks like the plate is installed too far back.

[@Hunterablackwell]

That’s what I was thinking too

[@jhonmac5044]

Thank you for this video very helpful sir!

[@deerock7]

this is great to see. just ordered mine. going to watch this again to help me out. thank you!

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dublove1]

The middle bolt is incorrect.

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

How do you figure? I found it the easiest way to hold the plate up till you are ready to complete the install. Do you have a better way?

[@dublove1]

The bolt you put in the middle should be in the third hole in the plate. This is why you thought you had to move your radiator lines. You mounted the plate too far back which is incorrect.

[@dsatch83]

@@dublove1 I agree after doing the install this very evening

[@MrBillygoat1974]

You mounted it in the wrong spot. It should be to the front two not the back two. Do not cut anything either!!!

[@jiggidyjam]

That plastic piece is to be trimmed NOT removed

Installer too far back
