75th anniversary Warn 8274 Winch installed on my 2 Door Bronco

You sound like you know a little about the mounting systems. I was on the team that helped develop it for Ford and it was put through a lot of testing to meet all of the Ford requirements. 8274 should be fine but I will be looking closely if I ever get to full pull on the winch to make sure nothing is moving. The 8274 is a beast of a winch, if you give it enough power she will just keep pulling. Best winch in my opinion we have ever built, fast strong and extremely reliable.

I read a lot of instruction manuals and looked at a bunch of aftermarket bumpers before I built my mount. I would have done what you did. But couldn’t buy the mount separately. I did share early on with Justin from marketing, after I asked about buying the reinforcement plates separately.

I had some trouble with supply over the last couple of years from Warn, winches/mounts were taking over a year on some stuff. Always got helped when I called corporate. We have about 15 Warn winches at anytime at work on a variety of vehicles (including our Oregon built snow cat)

I am happy to hear you running Warn winches and yes supply chain over the last couple of years was a real pain point for us. But I think we have turned the corner and things are moving a little more smoothly now.

Just got my 75th anniversary Warn 8274 winch put on the front of my 2 door. Custom winch plate fits on factory winch brackets. New camera location works great, parking sensors work and the ACC works as well.

I loved my M8274 - great winch. That anniversary 1 of 5 is awesome.

Only building 5 of them. I am lucky enough to have worked for this amazing company for 40 years, kind of a retirement gift.

best winch ever made! Congrats!!

That winch looks like it'd be right at home on a deuce and a half fighting fires.

Caught ya yesterday near tri cities at the country merc...dude. It's gorgeous. I literally registered here just to say hello. Was a big off-road enthusiast in North Carolina who recognized the winch and found You here!

Thanks, was on my way back from fishing in Montana for 2 weeks headed back to Oregon. Bronco has been a blast and used the winch to help my brother pull out some fire wood for the winter, fun times.

You are late to the game!

Buckstop has one mounted in a custom bumper as well..

I went with the 70th anniversary... I still need to reroute my power feed so it ain't so janky.

Nice!

Did you have to adjust your suspension due to the weight of the assembly?

Yes, I went will Bilstein 6112s. I also have 100lbs of additional skid plates, 170lbs of sliders, and recovery gear. Definitely the front sat low though, but it was definitely lower in the front
