Hey guys I just bought a 97 Yamaha Big Bear 350 4x4. I want to get a winch put on it. I need to get a winch mounting kit first. Any one have one they really like or suggest?

Thanks,
Cole

 

Might be hard to find one to purchase new considering the age. I looked for one for my 98 Timberwolf a little while back and came up empty handed. Figured the only way I'm going to get a winch on it is by building my own mounting plate.

Wish it was as easy as my Bruin, which had mounting tabs already in place on the frame where I just bolted on a Harbor Freight mounting plate that cost $5 and the winch bolted right onto it. I will probably use another $5 plate to build off of and fabricate my own winch plate for my Timberwolf. I've seen people using the U shaped exhaust clamps to mount the plates to the frame bars of a Timberwolf. Not sure how the Big Bear frame is set up in the front, but you might be able to do something similar if you cannot track down a ready made winch plate.
