“As advertised the winch plate required no modifications to install on my JLR everything lined up perfectly. The most difficult part was re-installing the bumper because I chose a Warn Zeon 8s winch. It is a tight fit and there is almost no room to tighten the hardware closest to the winch. If I could do it over again I would have chosen a Warn M8.”
“I had a competitors winch plate on that like most you need 3 hands to install. The winch never quite fit right in the factory bumper even with modification. Ordered this one and install was straight forward and easy. Winch (VR10) fits great with no issues. Impressing with how low the winch sits in the factory bumper.”
“Great fit and finish Insatlled with HF apex 12k winch. Had to trim winch handle for bumper fitment. Did not have to use the bumper spacer plates. Only reason for 4 stars is missing the 5 m8x1.25 nuts to re-install the bolts for the removed cover plate . The Warn kit includes these nuts.”
“I am extremely pleased with the Artec JL winch mount. It is very beefy works well with my Smittybilt X20 10K winch and the install was super easy. Given the install issues Ive heard about with other popular stock steel bumper winch mounts on the market I was very relieved at how well everything fit without needing to bend or grind anything and most importantly the quality is top notch. Thanks Artec”
“Great mount. Very solid. My advice is not to tighten the inner bolts until last otherwise the two bumper mounts(ladder frame) will squeeze together and you will have to grind a section of the bumper chasys mount. The stainless cover plate is a bit on the thin side”
