I would like to mount a superwinch 8,500 lbs on it, this winch product dimensions are 24x13x13 which makes it bigger than the smittybuilt 97281 8,000 lbs, that shows a dimension of 24x14x10, any one knows if the superwinch will fit inside the bumper? or has the bumper inner meassurements to fit the winch? Thanks!

At 13" deep I don't believe your winch will sit in the space available, but I believe Smittybilt makes a winch plate for this bumper that should allow your winch to be properly mounted.

The dimensions you are looking at are the Amazon product dimensions (The box it comes in) Do some more looking, most sites have the winch installation instructions that you can download in .PDF and show exact dimensions - The Superwinch 8500 shows 21.3"L X6.3"D X8.6"H (Without the box it came in) The mounting bolt pattern for it is also the "standard" 10"X4.5" The Superwinch XRC 8 Is 21"L X6.22"D X7.283"H And again the mounting bolt pattern is the same. (By the way L=Length (How long it is) / D=Depth (How wide it is) / H=Height (How tall it is) Doesn't look like too much of a problem. Good Luck and be sure to get real dirty!

Wish I could help but not sure on this one, I would call Smittybilt, I've talked with them before and got helpful and fast responses... good luck!

From what i understand the dimensions that you are looking at are the shipping dimensions, but the winch itself is way smaller and it seems that you have plenty of room to install several brands i think the mounting plate holes pattern is 4.5X10 which is the same on the Superwinch.You should have no problem, enjoy it

Not sure how the Blue Ox removable mounts are shaped. The Smittybilt 87450 was bought to fit a Smittybilt bumper. I found a lightly used Blue Ox tow bar before I actually towed with the 87450. I bought some adaptors to make the Blue Ox work with the Smittybilt bumper and I couldn't be happier. Sorry I can't be more help.

The superwinch controller....made by systematica, is a basic 4 position radio controller with a stop, start, in, and out series of functions. So, it will fit any winch really. However, the only thing that may differ is is the quick connect plug superwinch supplies which is designed to fit their particular winch. Nevertheless, the controller will fit your winch but you will have to splice the reciever into your winch wiring. This is a simple job because there is only about 3 or 4 wires to connect together. Power, ground, in, and out. This controller is bullet proof. in the 2 years I have had it, I have run it over, dragged it several miles behind my truck, dropped the handheld 50 times, used it in every weather condition there is, thrown it against a car a couple of times and everything still works. The buttons still function, and the handheld, although filthy, is still water proof. The only thing you might run into is that you may have to reprogram it. It may stop working but if you disconnect the receiver, plug it back in, and hold down 2 or 3 buttons for about 10 seconds, the system will re synch. I think every superwinch connection is the same for all of their winches.

The unit comes with a basic mountin plate that would have worked on my Mule, but the one I ordered was much heavier. If I remember right, the site also asked if I might be interested a mounting plate and it then listed the one for my mule. Beyond that you might want to contact the supplier by phone. Note: the winch is made in the UK.

The winch attaches to the bumber. The bumper attaches to the frame at the same point that the OEM bumper did. Eight bolts, four on each side plus two on each side that you will drill into the frame. Make sure you are satisfied with the bumper height and level before drilling. Pretty straight forward instructions. You will be cutting the plastic front fender well flap. The overall look and function is cool. Good luck.

Only way to truly know is to measure bolt holes and match them up to your winch. It fits my smittybilt 10k

We bought this accesory along with the universal mounting accesory... so all came together quite nicely, the onlly thing we needed to get was a 3/4" x 5" bolt to fix the universal mounting kit to the rear hitch.... the bucket and the universal mount come with all accesories to get togeteher.You need to have a winch with variable speed (low, very low speed) to make the best use of this accesory, because if the winch is to fast you will be limited mostly to loading and dumping, whereas if you have a slow winh you can use this dump as a front scrape to level the ground by adjusting the bucket height and position as you move.

The general rule is 1.5 times the weight of your vehicle. That being said, I would trust this winch over a stronger Smittybuilt winch.

Yes you will need a mounting plate or bumper mount for it. Excellent winch to have!!!

I have an Olympic 4x4 Rock Bumper, which is completely straight and about 6 inches tall and 3 inches deep (so quite a bit smaller than the smittybilt xrc). I can't find any specs for this guard anywhere. Thanks for the answers!

Most winches have a 4.5x10" mounting holes on bottom. It's universal for most all winches. The winch should fit.

Negative, not sure why people are answering yes. Will a winch fit on the bumper? Sure. Does it serve as a winch plate? No, winch plates attach directly to the frame, change angle, and provide access to the winch bolts. So no, it does not come with a winch plate, but will take on a winch.

Hi, cannot tell you if a Smittybuilt specifically will work but i have the bumper and got an Engo 10000 lbs winch which appears to go on with no issues. I used the recommended Warn winch dimensions as a guide to make the choice.

Hello --the max trailer size is 6" in height. If the width of your trailer is wider than the bolts/nuts provided, you could always obtain longer bolts/nuts from your local hardware store. Make sure they're galvanized though. My trailer has a wide beam however, I installed mine on the center beam which supports the winch and V-rest for the bow of the boat. I also installed felt pads (cut to size of the inside space between bolt holes) on both sides to eliminate any rattle or jarring during transit. My trailer is kept indoors and hardly ever exposed to the elements so the felt pads work great --got them at the big store w/the orange letters (HD). I'm very pleased with this carrier. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

I used the Smity Built winch and didn't incur any problems with the install. You need to buy the front bumper skid plate that does not come with the Warrior Bumper but is available from Warrior.

Its too big. Had a hard time getting it to fit on my kubota rtv. Get smaller unit. Winch works great though. Matt

I bought this receiver to accommodate my 4500 lb super winch, it fits very good! As far as a 8500lb it would be to small.
