hey..i am new here so ya...but anyways i just got a cabelas trail tamer winch (made by super winch) the 2300 lb one....and i was wondering if the superwinch mounting plates, and the warn mounting plates were the same thing....b/c alot of places i look the are in the same category and such...thanks

 

I am assuming that you would rather buy a Warn mount because it might be listed at a lower price.
Some sites state that their Warn mounts will not work with anything but the Warn winches. Really, I think it comes down to if the mounting holes will align with the winch holes. The mount is basically a flat platform for the winch to sit on. If the holes do not align then why not drill holes that will work.
CMP also makes a mount that should work.

Keep in mind that some mounts do not come with a roller fairlead. This may make the difference in cost. You might send for a lower costing mount and then have to buy a fairlead at an additional cost.

 

well the reason i am getting the warn is becasue i have an arctic cat 400 2004, and i already oredered one mounting plate made for the winch...but the guy at cabelas told me it would work..it was the one for the 99-02 models.....no thats i realised this i have sent it back and have been looking for a mounting plate for the 04 model..i could only find one place, and they said it would take till the end of august to recieve it!!! i need it a little sooner....if u know any sites that sell them please inform me...also i already have a fairlead that came with the winch...so that is no matter to me..thanx for your time though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

If you have not. You could try- rockymountainatv.com shadetreepowersports.com denniskirk.com basspro.com sportsmansguide.com

 

You might try stopping in at a welding shop and see what it would cost to have one built. Most winch mounts I have seen were pretty simple and would be easy to build.

 

Piece of metal plate and four U bolts. Instant mount.

 

I bought mine from this guy on e-bay. He makes them himself and he is a great guy to deal with. He has a number listed on the listing if you want to talk with him first. He sells them for 20.00 and he had it to me in 4 days. They are of great quality and I would highly recomend them.

well first of all if i where you id return the cabelas and get a warn i had the cabelas 2000lb superwinch and it would frezze up alot and i had the recon i had to go all over just to find a mount so i think the warn mount is stronger
