Pelfreybilt Hidden Winch Mount Install

Any reason you didn't mount it on the winch? Mine worked out, but I am using a wireless remote. Was your NFAB light bracket in the way?

Hard to see but the control box is on top of the winch motor

 

^ that is where I put mine as well.

 

No particular reason but I am thinking about it now that you brought it up thanks

 

@bajafresh, Can you measure the distance from the front face of the mount to the back-wall of the bumper....Im going to be adding recovery points and need to know that distance for the length of my steel.

 

@Snogoer05

On mine that bumper sits right on it so there isn't any space between them. Also, the fairlead attaches to the outside of the bumper and sandwiches the bumper to the front face of the mount. Hope that helps.

 

That's exactly what I needed to know! Thanks so much! Now I can order my recovery points from @RelentlessFab !

 

No problem bro, glad I can help

 

Is this on stock suspension? If so, how much sag? Is it very heavy? Mines really just my daily, and want one for our harsh winter playtime. I love the stock look!

 

In the pictures, yes it was on the stock suspension and drove it that way for a couple of years before moding my suspension. Had so sag or any other issues at all with the stock suspension and this setup.

 

If you go with a synthetic rope you'll definitely be on the better end of the added weight. I have the same mount (steel) and a Warn M8000 (with steel line) so it was close to 200 pounds of added weight. It's on my daily driver and I haven't had an issue.

 

just want to confirm you meant to say "had NO sag" .. ?!?

 

Looks good. The AC line doesn't interfere with the control box
On top of the motor?

 

Nope. Everything fits in there quite well. I'll try to snap a pic today.

 

That would be great, I'd appreciate it.

 

Sorry, yes I meant "no" sag

 

Two questions:

1) I don't want to divorce the solenoid but don't want to use a remote control or wire it up to in cab switches. Is that possible?

2) Are the backing plates compatible with sway bar relocation brackets AND shock reservoir mounts? I guess knowing the thickness of the backing plates might help if nobody can answer outright

 

Unfortunately I can't answer your question as I am not sure and don't want to tell you the wrong thing. Give them a call and I am sure they would love to answer your questions

 

Sorry for the delay.
Hard to see but there is plenty of room

 

What fairlead did you use with the steel cable? I have a roller fairlead with mine and thinking of switching.
