Does anyone know if a hidden winch mount like the Pelfrebilt will work on an LE?

I would just email them directly and ask them.

Per their website description for the hidden mount.

"Hidden Winch Mount fits behind the factory bumper valance and houses up to a 10K pound winch."

It refers to the bumper valance but I don't think a LE has a valance in the front like the other models if I am not mistaken.

I don't know, but the frame and mechanical layout is mostly likely that same as the other models or at least close enough that they wouldn't just make a blanket statement that it fits 2010-2017 without calling something out if i wasn't going to fit.

What year is your rig? Bud Built's is $100 cheaper than Pelfrey's....... Definitely worth a phone call to see if theirs will fit your year.
 
Mine's a 2016 and I asked here before contacting Pelfrey because I've been told by vendors previously that items would fit my rig that did not. I'll check on the Bud built, thanks for the input.
 
I'll check with Undercover, I saw an older thread that indicated theirs does not fit the LE but it looks like that may have changed. Thanks Guys
 
Bud Built has a hidden winch mount that works without any extensive modifications and they also have sliders that work with factory XREAS. He was also a super nice guy. Thanks for the input guys.

I just ordered a hidden winch mount from them last month for my 11TE.

FYI, It took 3 weeks to get shipped out...... It surprised me it took that long, but IDK if they build to order or have in stock or ??? So I had no reason to be surprised, I just thought it would be faster for some reason. It didn't matter though I'm not ready to install it anyway so it worked out fine.

Double check, when I shopped sliders Bud needed the lower LE trim removed on both sides for the sliders to fit, ended up going with the MetalTech OPOR sliders instead, have been pretty happy with them. Bud might have updated since then though, so YMMV.

I was going to recommend Budbuilt, but it looks like you have already figured that out. I had the opportunity to wheel with him and one of his engineers earlier this year and found out that they will build anything you want and engineer it to perfection. The current LE is not too different from the '10-'13 T4R's, so even if their standard winch plate doesn't fit exactly they can modify it to work.
 
I ordered a Pelfrey HWM, they had stock on hand, so shipped right away, and had it in a few days. Installed on 16 SR5 with Warn VR10 Gen2, didnt have to relocate the solenoid.

You are correct but I already have the Shrockworks TE trim so it's not an issue for me but thank you.
