Review on πŸ”§ Bulldog Winch 20208 Winch Mount" - Optimized Winch Mount by Bulldog by David Everett

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Get ready for additional prep work.

Not a bad machine, but comes without all the hardware. The front lead plate comes with only 2 of the 4 screws required and I am told that a replacement is not available from the manufacturer. Also, the screws for the travel mount don't go through the plate, so additional drilling is required to expand it to the size of the attached gear. The packaging could have been a bit better too, the moving pole was not secured so the paint was scraped off both pieces. Touch up some with paint so both the deburred and flared areas are rust free. Overall a pretty solid piece but be prepared for some modifications and extra prep time to get things right. A full refund was offered as it was already installed, too much of a hassle to take it out and repackage it. I will contact the hardware store to get the right gear. UPDATE: I installed a non-platinum Zeon 12-S (same size as 10) and the evaporator mounting bracket does not fit between the winch mounting plate and the factory stabilizer. This is not due to the winch but to the position of the bracket on the plate. There is enough space behind the 12-S and the stabilizer to accommodate the evaporator. Just not with the included bracket. Also, two holes are drilled into the holes on the moving bracket that appear to be for the two pins of the vaporizer harness connector, but they don't match either.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
