I have the 2WD and just want to put a Warn RT15 or RT25 for backup. (I'm a hunter, not a mudder).

I see that many of the mounts mention plastic trimming, but I don't want to butcher my new ride too much. Plus, I'm not one of those guys with a real steady hand. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

What have you guys run in to when installing the mount plates?

 

I took off about 5/8 off the side bottoms. You cant even tell once the plastics are back on.

 

if you go with the 1.5 and a warn mounting plate you will not have to trim any plastic

 

I installed a Warn 2.5 on my '05 (350) Rancher 2WD, and did not have to cut any plastic to make it fit - maybe the 420s are different (??) BTW, i used the Warn mounting plate.

 

The 420s are a bit different. I have some pics of the trimming. If you're interested let me know and I'll post them.

 

We just use a die grinder to trim the plastic bumper cover ..

I cut mine the same way, except i did not cut the top piece of plastic. It did not come into contact with my winch.
