A friend of mine gave me this winch mount off his XJ when he sold it. He thinks it's the Factory Optional one but I'm not so sure. I am not where my XJ is right now. Are those mounting points where the OEM bumper mounts to the unibody? There is a funny shaped plate (not shown) behind the 4 mounting bolts that has threaded holes. Can anyone give me some info on how this is supposed to bolt up or even what brand it is?
I use my XJ on easy to moderate trails only, but I have found myself at the end of a strap twice now (pulled by the sway bar for lack of any other option). I know that factory points are weaksause for serious pulling and winching, but it's better than what I have now. When the XJ starts seeing more serious trail use, I'll pony up the dough for a real bumper with proper mounting points... but I would like to see how this works for a while.
Thanks!!
