Warn 10 winch relocation bracket or install help

Gooooood evening everyone! I would like some help. I have installed the a Baja style bumper with a winch inside and the top electrical control box will not fit when installing it onto the truck. I believe I need relocation brackets, but I don’t know if that is all I need. Has anyone run into this issue?

 

I’m not great with the search, but look for a winch install video tutorial by @ClassyTacos. He (and I after watching his video) used premade brackets (I believe they are actually gate hardware) that fit perfectly between two supports near the bottom of the radiator, works great. I think this is the part https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/national-hardware-n235-309-15-bar-holder-zinc-plated

If you can’t find the video, I’ll get pictures tomorrow if you want them.

Good luck.

 

Thank you!!!! I will be looking this up!

 

That's typical with 3rd gens. Brackets can easily be fabbed up with steel from Home Depot/Lowes/etc. A 3' piece of 1"x1/8" bar stock, a couple of cuts, drill a couple of holes...badabing, control box is mounted on the radiator support.

 

Thank you for that recommendation! That’s a great idea!

Winch relocation mount

 

This is a pretty popular one but it may take up space if you want to add an aftermarket trans cooler/PS pump in the future.
