Budbuilt Hidden Winch mount

[4OYOTER]

I ordered this from Budbuilt last Wednesday, fully aware of the 9-10 week lead time stated on the website. To my surprise it already arrived today! Merry Christmas Eve!

My plan is to install with a Badland 9000. Does anyone have any recent experience installing the Budbuilt Hidden winch mount? I read through a few older threads on here with mention of some fitment issues which hopefully have since been resolved. I didn’t receive any instructions, but will follow up with Bud after the holidays to see if they are available.

Help!!! I still haven’t been able to get ahold of Bud in regards to instructions. I have my bumper cover off but can’t figure out how the Hidden winch mounts. Does the crash bar need to come off for the U bolts to mount? I also was under the impression it also ties into the frame mount bolts, but I’m not seeing how that will work either. Does this only mount with the u bolts? I tried posting a pic of where I’m at but my upload keeps failing.
