Rough Country High Winch Installed VIDEO

Thank you for the comment. I'm happy the video helped you out. I have not used the winch yet, but have since pick up a reinforcement kit for the system. I've heard a few stories of the winch base bending. So I figured what the heck! Here's the link:

Did you end up installing the reinforcement brackets?

I never installed them, no reason just kinda forgot they are even in the garage. Thanks for the reminder!

I see, have you used your winch for any recovery yet? The reason I'm asking is because I bought the dv8 brackets but they don't work on the oem bumper and I already have my grill and bumper taken apart. I'm most likely going to just installed my RC high winch mount as is and deal with whatever happens.

I know you need to drill some holes in the frame for the brackets to work (Zero Experience Here.) But I think for light recovery, just for yourself you should be fine. Fingers crossed. I've never had to use the winch. With traction boards, rear and front lockers it would take a lot to get that stuck.
