Re: Hidden Winch - Warn M12000
Thays why this forum is awesome! I didn't even know what a sidewinder was
 I guess it still hold true, ya don't know what you don't know, looks pretty tough and durable!I ended up using a Warn 11078 foot forward mounting plate, that I clearanced a bunch to fit. Used a cheapo Amazon wireless controller for the Albright contactor-solenoid box. Works up to 50' away and got the job done for 20-ish bucks. Warn synthetic line and a black aluminum flat shackle tow point. |

Re: Hidden Winch - Warn M12000
Hello, I mounted it with a Warn 11078 bracket that I must have modified, put in and out 10 times to get to fit perfectly. I used a section of 3x3x1/4 angle iron for additional bracing at the bottom (not pics uploaded yet). I had to offset it toward the driver side by 3/8" due to the motor side being longer than the planet side. I've been working through this one for a bit, just wanted to throw it out there for ideas. If anyone has specific questions feel free to hit me up.

Re: Hidden Winch - Warn M12000
I took some pictures tonight, I'm kicking myself that I didn't take pics before I put the front bumper back on. It's the way she goes bubs, the way she goes.
