I recently bought a Warn Winch from a fellow YT'er but the mounting bolts were not included. So I would like to know what size bolts this thing needs. It will be installed in a TJM T-17.
Any help would be great!

My suggestion...contact WARN directly or search their site and you should find exactly what is supposed to be included...not just guesses or opinion.

 

Good call.

Will do.

 

you get your truck back yet?

 

yes sir!

Lookin to get a chance to wheel it on something worth while to test out the crawler.

 

If I remember right they used a square (4 sided) nut on the winch side of the bumper. I don't remember the size for sure, may have been 3/8 inch.

 

I found it in my installation instructions. "3/8 x 1 1/4 grade 5 hex head capscrews, lockwashers and square nuts for a 3-16" to 1/4" thick mounting plate. (Cavities have been provided in the drum supports for the square nuts) " The square nuts are because you can't get a wrench on them.

For mounting feet forward on the TJM T-17 you will need a little longer bolts for the 2 bolts that go through the fairlead, Warn says to use "3/8-16 x 1 1/2 grade 5 hex head capscrews with lockwashers through the fairlead" I upgraded my bolts here to grade 8 when I did my install. I always go with grade 8 so I can torque them tighter.

 

I think I had to go w/ 1.5" bolts when I mounted my XD9000:



I used flat head allen bolts to get a nice clean face on the bumper, countersinking the holes for the bolt heads.

 

Thanks for the help, guys! I really appreciate it!
