Westin has options for winch mounting - (1 of 6 in a series)

In all, Westin Automotive offers T-MAX winch trays for four (4) very different applications and choosing the right one for your needs is essential to the recovery experience. As you all know, winches in general carry quite a bit of weight, so, strength and stability wrapped in a keenly engineered product designed with safety as its priority is a must. Today we'll cover the basics with focus on Universal Winch Mount Trays. Westin carries two (2) Universal Winch Mount Trays; one (1) suitable for most winch mounting surfaces, and one (1) specifically designed for the Jeep Wrangler.

Universal Winch Mount Tray PN# 47-3102

UNIVERSAL WINCH MOUNT TRAYS - Winch PN# 47-3102 offers large front face coverage and therefore provides protection for the winch. The large front face area also provides a sturdy surface for Fairlead mounting. PN# 47-3102 allows for high placement of the 4-way fairlead and clears the bumper completely. When properly mounted, the winch tray and fairlead will have a flush bottom surface.

Jeep Wrangler Universal Winch Mount Tray PN# 46-3104

 

Winch PN# 47-3104 is designed specifically for the Jeep Wrangler. It has a less visibly obstructive front face which allows for a clearer view of the winch. It mounts securely and has dual mount holes on the front face for fairlead mounting as desired, higher or lower. Westin is aggressively marketing to the Jeep enthusiast and has some great product offerings coming out this year. We'll be covering this new product as part of this continued series of blogs.

They both provide for basic winch mounting needs, accommodate most brands of winches and may require some drilling to mount. Westin offers a 3-year warranty on its Winch Mount Trays. Remember, it's all about the recovery! So, be well equipped on the off-road.
