Hello all
I'm looking for a way to mount a VR12 winch to my truck, any suggestions?
Thanks

Did not won't to spend $1500 or more on a new bumper.
Did not see much on YouTube.
I seen a guy on this forum cut a Harbour Freight winch mount for his truck.
I don't know if I would trust that. He was installing a 9000 lbs winch.
My F150 4x4 is a 7700 series, so I have to go with the 12000 lbs winch.
Thanks

If you use the Warn Winch Calculators, a 7700 GVWR vehicle has a 12,000 pound recommendation.

EDIT: Screen Grabbed it....
