Guide Gear Winch Mount for Truck Or ATV/UTV Universal 2", Hitch Mounted Winch Plate Up to 12,000 Lbs

The winch mount works great and is very strong I would recommend this to anyone and everyone and it even has a place for the rollers to bolt to. It's great

Works with the tiger winch 9500. You have to install the roller FIRST with the nuts facing inside the mount before you bolt down the winch, otherwise it's impossible .... Which I didn't do on the first attempt and learned the hard way. But the mount works great and the handles come in handy.

Save your money! You have to put the carrying handles on the winch body!!!! They are crimped cheap square tube that are twisted and pinched in the wrong areas. I spent a lot of time aligning, twisting, redrilling, etc. The piece going into the receiver is not quite 2" standard and is a very sloppy fit. Apparently someone in China didn't understand the proper measurement! I will use this for my 4,000 lb winch, I wouldn't even think about anything greater than 8,000 lbs. This is not the distributors fault as they seemed to have got it from Sportmans Guide which should resource from a new supplier. The distributor shipped promptly!

This item is spot welded, to save 50 cents of welding rod, they spot welded. This is going to break at 12,000 lbs, if not immediately. I had an item just like this spot welded as well, it broke at the welds pulling my truck out of a small incline.Be careful when assuming what you need it for.

The only drawback was that I had to drill out the mounting bolt holes as the powder coating made the holes too small. Not a big deal unless someone didn't have a bit the right size.

This winch hitch mount appears (haven't used it yet in real world applications) very well made. It fit my Superwinch 8500 perfectly.The welds appear fine, the gage of the steel appears fine too.A few minor cons:The handles will be tricky to install - they are supposed to slide in the main body, but mine had some shipping damage and they won't fir without some major elbow grease.The roller fairlead ended up pretty close to my winch so I had to install the bolts backwards.Coupled with the winch it is quite heavy so it is not suitable as a permanent solution, but it will be perfect for me - occasional use only.

works great

I returned this right away. All the welds looked horrible and the whole thing just looked like junk. Ordered the Curt winch mount like I should have in the first place.
