Shrockworks front bumper winch plate ?

[calcrc]

Hi, I just went and picked up my shrockworks front bumper and I noticed nothing to mount the winch on. Need some help. Is the winch bolted on the aluminium frame ? Any pics or replies will help. Again thanks in advance

If this is the bumper for the 5th gen, the winch should mount directly to the bumper. You should see the (4) mounting bolt holes on the front face of the bumper, since it mounts 'foot forward', meaning the feet are facing outward rather than down toward the ground. I'm unsure what aluminum frame you mean, but if you're referring to the aluminum factory bumper bar, that part comes off before you mount the new bumper.

I installed my bumper by myself so I waited to drop the winch in after it was mounted, but this is where it mounts, with the feet facing forward as apollo said. In my sig pic you see the 2 mounting bolts on top and the fair lead mounted with the 2 lower bolts. I dont think there is any aluminum on my bumper but there are 2 structural ribs that look like a shelves, but my winch did not mount to those.

Alright, starting to get the idea. Will talk it out with the guys at the shop I hope they know how to do this better than me because if not I will turn back and never go there again ! lol

But seriously I will be close and talking with them while the install takes place. I won't leave them alone, they have to know someone is there to make sure all is done right.

Will post pics as soon as it is all done.

It should be pretty obvious where things go. When I installed one.. we mounted the winch, fairlead... to the bumper before mounting it to the factory frame horns. It seems like it would be impossible to do it after it was on the truck...

BTW, the factory aluminum bumper and crush cans are eliminated...

Sadly I think they forgot to send me the harness wiring :/

Will call tomorow and see if they can next day ship.
Oh and what is this thing ?!?!

I opened the winch box and placed it on the bumper to have a better idea how its going to sit. Thanks for the picture man.
