anyone have an 8274 on a tj?

Need to fab up a winch plate. Would be WAY less work if someone had one I could take a look at.

Thanks guys.

I have a homespun winch mount that works great for the 8274 on my LJ you are welcome to have a look at. One problem I'm in the Edmonton area. It's not a warn mount and therefore does not have the nasty brackets to deal with.. If you find yourself up here Justin! Shoot me a PM and have a look.

Let me know when you have it done I need one in a bad way.

I may be up there shortly. Will let you know. If not I will just fab up something from scratch. Seems to be a lack of options for it. Unless you go $300 from warn...

Huge lack of bumper that it fits into properly too =/

I'm on it.

The warn 8274 winch plate for the TJ would be a good place to start.  Actually, I think it is the only aftermarket plate for the 8274

Hey Justin, I have the warn 8274 winch plate (currently in my basement) and their front bumper (mounted on the Jeep)....found them decently priced down in the states and decided it was easier than finding a fabricator.

I can fire you a couple pictures (with something for scale) sometime this week, and if you want to check it out I might have time this weekend.

[AV.NINE]

Pm me your number, ill try to get over there this weekend.

Yesterday I went out and grabbed a couple of snaps for you of the plate that I had done up for me.

I have the Warn factory mounting plate for my 8274 winch on my TJ, if you wish you can have a look at it.  I'm in Calgary, PM me if you're interested.  Thanks, Doug

That looks pretty decent. My only concern is that it does not have the bent 1" lip on the rear of the plate which add's quite a bit of strength. But then again, Im not sure how much that is needed.

Swamp rat, will let you know. Thanks for the offer.

I have 8274 mounted on warn plate and bumper on my tj if you want to take a look. I live in mt pleasant in
The nw.

That setup kinda scares the bejezus outta me, never was a fan on how the factory tow hooks mount so I don' t think I'd want a winch mounted in the same spot.

Is there a strap that runs down and hooks onto the bottom of the frame rail as well? I guess you're fairly limited on mounting options as the swaybars right behind and the steering box is right underneath.

Sorry for the hijack, but please elaborate on this.  You have 4 x 1/2" bolts holding the winch in place with a shear load of approx 3700 lbs or 4500 lbs each depending on where you using grade 5 or 8 bolts.
