Westin 46-21605 WINCH MOUNT

Not bad for 219.00 dlls , toughts ? did a little bit of more seach and found out this is not a hidden mount

 

Looks alright, not sure what a dlls is though.

 

Where did you find this for 219? Did you get one?

 

It fits perfect. Heavy duty and doesn't look bad in my opinion.

Thanks for the pics, can you give a quick explanation on how it's installed? Trying to see where the mounting points are from the stock pics. Does the side mounts attach to the frame or bumper supports? Tried looking for an install doc on Westin's website but it's not available.

 

I installed one on my truck back in June. I actually installed the grill guard also. Install was very easy for the most part. I don't remember exactly now but I know it bolts in down at your tow hooks. Also has two braces that go through the grill and tie into a support...those are a little tricky and take a little bit to do. I would go out and look at mine so I could give you a better idea but it's pouring rain right now.

Edit: it took me a little while but I did find the instructions on westin website. They are not very detailed but gives you a good idea.

 

Thanks man, I actually found an install video on YouTube. I just can't decide if it's going to work out for me. It looks awfully low when installed.

For you guys that have this mount, do you think it sits low or sticks out too far? Did you go with this mount because you didn't want a full bumper replacement or it was cheaper than getting a full bumper?

 

I will stick with my US Offroad Hidden winch bumper

 

Good on Westin for making something like this for our trucks. While it's not my cup 'o tea - it is a good option for those who want to use winch but not modify their truck/bumper.

 

That hidden mount is sweet, but I don't have a 2012 or newer.

 

I went with the Undercover Hidden Winch Mount.

+1 here. They make a version for pre-2012 2nd gens too.
