Winch mount needed for 2003 Frontier

[GlennA]

Title just about tells it all. I sold my hummer but kept the winch. I am looking for a winch mount or source for one to fit my 2003 Froniter 2wd. If you know of one or a source for one, let me know. Tomorrow I'm pulling off the bumper cover to see how much room I have to possibly mount the winch behind the bumper. TIA.

There are a couple ways you could go about it, you can buy one of the existing winch bumpers, bolt a generic winch plate to the frame horns, or build your own. I built my own for my Xterra, the Frontiers would be pretty similar, I took it somewhere to get welded just because I don't have a welder.

^^^ seen that mount in person... Very cool

That is what I have in mind. I have an rv "baseplate" as a starter. (A baseplate mounts to your vehicle, then the towbar attaches between the baseplate and rv.) It is very similar to yours minus the winch plate. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to get started.

That's a nice bumper. A little rich for my blood, but nice nonetheless.
