H3 Winch mount with pics/measurements

[RickStang]

Hi guys!

Thought I'd share my winch mount with you guys











The base plate that bolts onto the D-rings is 36 1/2" x 3 1/8"
The plate on which the winch sits (welded to the base plate) is 22" x 10"
The plate the fairlead is bolted to is 22" wide x 7" tall
everything is 1/2" thick

what I noticed is the original bolts for the D-rings rub against the mount, so ill be grinding them down a little.
Also since it is mounted inline with the D-rings, the approach angle has suffered, ill have it tested out tomorrow and update here.
