hey i gota qeuestion i have a smitty built bumper that is can have a winch plate on it and i was wondering how would i mount it on there can any one help me?

 

I wouldnt put a winch on a smitty build bumper, they look too flimsy....and I would edit your post cause its kinda confusing

 

I had a winch on my old smitty built bumper.

I used a universal flatbed winch plate to mount the winch to the bumper. took some modification.
Then I had to beef the heck out of the smitty built mounting points to the frame, but when it all came down to it I still bent the bumper mounts.



I ran this setup for about a year then I just got sick of bending the bumper back up after using my winch.

 

Just watch out for them rhino's ...Ps...The smittybuilt aint that strong...

 

dont put a winch on a smitty or you will be watching it go up the trail with part of your xmember attached.

i used a tow bar on one of mine and it tore the front of the xmember off it has a linear bolt pattern which is stupid and weak as hell

if you plan on fabricating supports and different mounts for it it may be able to support a winch

 

i did that for a while then one day i got really pissed and kicked it into the truck, then bent it down and it fell off problem solved

 

what kind of bumper should i get that fits on my 1988 toyota pick up that as a winch thing alreay in it?

 

there is all kinds tube style and plate syle, addicted offroad has really cool tube style at a decent price, trail gear, marlin crawler, plate style you have tjm, warn, arb and alot others thats just off the top of my head. And then you have the choice of custom fab like what I did here https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f88/...-build-164886/
