If you are getting stuck that much, I think you should consider a 4x4, but I am sure that you could rig up some type of bracket that bolts where the stock bumper mounts to.

Hellcat,
I would have to agree with 54Warrior that if you are getting stuck that ofter you might want to look a 4x4. But, I have a superwinch 1500 on my kawasaki Prairie 300 4x4 and I have not had any problems out of it except that the cable is only 25 feet long. The winch itself is small compared to Warn. All you would have to do is find a mounting bracket for them. I hope this maybe helps some.

I had a Superwinch 1500 on my 95 300ex. It still would ride wheelies and it sure helped in the mud. I have since moved up to a Rubicon because I was tired of getting stuck SO much and the mud just covered me because of the fender design. No one makes a mount currently but you can make one yourself with 2 pieces of billet aluminum and some roll pins to to prevent sliding of the bracket. It worked great for me. The rotary winch switch was mounted on the side of the quad near my right knee.
