Leman Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 i searched but couldnt really find what i was looking for. i need away to mount a 8k winch to my 97 pathy, is there a bumper/ warn grill guard looking thing under $500 to mount it. or should i just go with the removable hitch type for the rear. this will be my recovery vehicle. PS i found a engine for it earlier this week and it should be in the pathy by next thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 this will be my recovery vehicle. What will you be recovering? Currently there is only one "off-the-shelf" winch-mountable front bumper for the Pathy. It's made by Kennesaw Mtn Accessories. Reports about the manufacturer's product quality vary. Search separately for "wincher" and "KMA" in these forums for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverlion Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Most of what I've seen are home built. You may be able to get one of the bumper builder guru's to build you one. There is a lot of talent in this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fukinitupagain Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I've seen a couple mounted on brush gaurds, but... eh, I don't know IU just wouldn't trust that. You know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Black panther (Marcel) made a really nice one that fits in the stock bumper. I might pick one up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep getting some BS site that has nothing to do with offroading. Maybe my inner dumba$$ is coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
