Does anyone have a Hitch Hopper or other receiver type winch mount? If so, do you like it and is it worth the money? I have noticed that they are rather expensive. Has anyone ever made their own? Any info would be greatly appreciated, since I am considering one for my Rancher 4x4ES.

I would also like to see one on a Honda. The only pics I have ever seen of one have been on Yamaha front end.

Warn makes one also. But, if you take a couple of pics to a welder, you can have one made for a lot less. It is essentially a piece of 2" square steel (you can get at TSC or a welder probably has some scrap laying around), a flat piece of maybe 3/8" steel, some large u-bolts (maybe taken from large 1/2" cable clamps) and some spray paint, and a quick connect plug for your power cables from Northern Tool for $10-15.

I think I have a pic on a Honda from Warn's brochure in the pics below.

Thanks for the info TxDoc2. Did you make the winch mounts on the Rubicon in the pics on your website?

I made a receiver winch mount for the front and rear of my KQ it cost me about $20 for the metal and $15 for the wiring / connectors to make it work on both ends. Probably about a days work all together also.
