I don't recall seeing this discussed, but I would like to know where you guys mount your winches on your Rubicons. I have a 2001 model, and for the life of me I cannot see a place to mount a winch. I made my own mounts for my Prarie and Bruin, and could do it for the Rubicon if I could figure out just where it should go. Any ideas? Pictures would be Ideal. Thanks

 

I believe the wench mounts lower on the rubicon so not to block the radiator air flow. My friend has just bought an 04 foreman rubicon and wants a wench. We were looking at it the other day and there is enough room to mount it but it apparantly goes lower in the frame than my Foreman.

 

Thanks, triple, but I just don't see any room for it - low mount or high mount. I do know people put them somewhere, though, but there must be a trick to it.

 

the winch mounts upside down. the mount is just a plate that is u bolted to the two bars or supports that come straight out(behind the front brush guard. and the winch bolts to the plate it hangs upside down.

 

if you take a look at my page youll see a couple of pics of my rubicon and you can see where the winch is mounted on mine.
and mine was put on at the dealer with a honda instaltion kit.
hope this helps.

 

Now thats pretty cool mounting. I knew it had to be lower in the frame but never would have thought about mounting it upside down! thanks for the picture. I will have to show it to my friend who bought the Rubicon a few weeks ago.

 

Thanks to all of you. That gives me a new perspective on how to mount it. Never thought of upside down........

 

If you get a Rule, they have an awesome brush guard mount that is tough and looks like it came stock on it. Take a look at it: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/crazyk...bum?.dir=/b68b
