I have a Xtreme Winch 2000 that I am trying to install on my Honda Rancher 420 2x4 when it was bought it was bought for a 4x4(wife bought it for x-mas enought said) and now am having trouble installing it. the instructions that came with the mount are not detail enought for me anyone now how its suspose to go or got a website with some better ones(where does the fairlead get installed)

 

Bolts to the front of the mounting plate. To make things easy......remove the front plastic bumper cover, then remove the bumper. Bolt the mounting plate to frame, bolt the winch to mounting plate.....replace the bumper.....bolt fairlead to mounting plate, then replace the bumper cover. You may have to trim the plastic bumper cover to fit around the fairlead. A good utilitie knife will do the job.

 

where does the fair lead go i'm lost got winch installed now on bumper but got to install bumper to atv now

 

The winch mounting plate has two holes in the front that the fairlead bolts too.
You did get a mounting plate?????
Do you have the winch mounting plate bolted to the frame the right way????
Pics would be helpful!!!!

 

do i really need the fair lead?????

 

No!!Not really But the roller keep cable from getting bent or kinked and from cable pulling off of winch spool..[OFF THE SIDES OF SPOOL]. But winch will work fine without roller JUST have to be real careful how you pulled with it...Good Luck...
