I just bought a warn 2.5ci with a warn mount kit and am having trouble making it fit.
The electrical connection side of the winch is hitting on the grab bar which
makes it impossible to bolt up unless I bend the grab bar, but I really dont
want to bend anything.
Anybody else have clearance trouble with this setup?

 

Nope. I installed my Warn 2.5ci on my '04 Kodiak 450 in several hours and it went smoothly. I took off and lowered the front bumper and brush guard to make it fit easier. You have the winch power outputs on the right side of the quad right?

Maybe the mounting plate isn't for a Kodiak, or even for the wrong year Kodiak...

 

Thanks 123, I got it to work. It wasnt as bad as I thought. Just had to get a little
aggressive with the grab bar and everything went smooth. I got the warn plate
for my year I just wasnt gettin after it hard enough.
