Ok so it seems that no matter how hard I search I can’t find any answers pertaining to my truck. I have a 92 DLX and I am wondering what winch people are running with a front trail gear bumper without having to cut the grill. Any information is greatly appreciated.

 

this is the all pro bumper, same company (a part of) trail gear.

In order to fit the winch without cutting the grill I needed a body lift. It's filled in with lawn edging to help cover the exposed parts. I needed the body lift to help the diesel clear the front diff.

This will likely fit near identical to the trail gear.

Jegs had it the cheapest when I made the purchase.

I'd imagine your next gen is very similar in fitment to my ifs 87

 

Just cut the grill.

Maybe a winch without a mounted solenoid pack would fit? Like a m8000 ? You would just have to mount the solenoids elsewhere.

I cant remember if we had to cut the grill on this one. But I dont think so. This is a m series winch.. The solenoids here are mounted right to the grill.

 

The solenoid pack could be moved and would likely net the extra 2 inches she needs. (Insert that's what she said)


On this cheap reindeer winch anyway.

 

 

I'd have rather avoided the body lift but I had to find a way to make the TDI motor clear the front differential. The good news is I can flex out 33s with no scrubbing and relaxed torsion bars with only an addition of the ball joint spacers.
