Where do you guys mount your winches on your wolverines I dont want to mount out front and stick out like a sore thumb

 

I relocated my oil cooler back farther and tucked a Warn 2000 behind and below the bumper so the roller fairlead is just below the plastic grill. I made my own brackets but a similar mount is available from CMP but requires extension brackets to tilt your bumper a bit to make more room.

 

Cabellas has a mounting kit that doesn't stick out near as far as the Yamaha kit.

 

when you refer to warn 2000 winch is it a 2000lb. rated winch?

 

i just bought a winch mount from cabelas for my wolverine i havent got it on yet but ive looked at it and it goes completely behind the bumper were it dont stick out thats why i bought the cabelas cause i didnt want mine sticking out were if i ran into somethin it wouldnt tear up all u have to do is move the oil cooler back alittle bit which takes 5 minutes then just mount ur mount on to the frame it comes with easy step by step instructions also.

i thank its round 50 dollers only took a couple days to get it in from the mail also this winch mount also fits superwinches and warns

 

I think the Wolverine looks sweet with the winch hanging out! It looks like some sort of military vehicle or something. Just my opinion though.

 

So Yamahon did you get your mount in yet if so have you put it on and how did that go. I ordered a mount for my winch the other day and hope to get it in sometime this week. Also what kind of winch did y'all go with. I went with a superwinch ATV2000 for about $150.

Finally got my winch mounted heres hoe i did it removed the headlights and the mounting brackets,welded a flat piece of 1/4" steel to the bottum of the 2 pipes where the headlights mounted then lowered the oil cooler 1 inch and back half an inch shimmed the whole front bumper foward 1 inch and mounted the headlights under the rack and built custom haedlight guards and the closed in the area under the oil cooler with small perforated steel, looks great like some sort of attack quad just thought you would all like to know how i finally did it!!!

 

Wolv09,

Can you post a photo of your mounted winch?

How about emailing one to me and I'll post it for you.

 

Jet Sport Let me finish painting it and get it all back together and i'll send you some photos the only change i made to the design is the head light guards i didnt like them.
