Rough Country Winch Plate & Warn Winch Install

602Raptor · Oct 10, 2013

My previous vehicle was a Jeep TJ Rubicon. I kept the winch when I sold the vehicle with of hopes of transferring it to the Raptor. Here's pics of the install. Let me know if there are questions. I haven't used it yet, but hopefully we'll get snow up north and I can winch out my Jeep buddies. We all know Raptors don't get stuck

Overall, I could not be happier with the results.

Parts List:
Warn 9.5ti with 125' of 5/8" steel cable
Warn 73850 steel hawse fairlead for cable
Rough Country 1010 F-150 Hidden Winch Plate

Setup on the bench checking fitments:

Plate installed showing clearances:

It's a tight fit. Will need to open the hood when winching with cable to keep an eye on things:

Sharp looking from the outside:

Thoughts?

The pics should show now, but they are out of order. I will fix.

I wheel alone quite a bit and a good winch is a must. Warns are also great winches and you can usually find them on your local Jeep forum for significantly less.

Nice setup. I've got a Warn 9.5 that I would like to mount hidden like that. Does it affect running temps?

Off to Rough country to see if they have a plate that fits my winch.
I also have an extra 8k, but would rather have the extra power, on a full size truck

I am pretty sute the bolt pattern should be identical to just about every other winch out there. They are a standard spread pattern with a standard bolt/thread size.

This is a great set up, I found this install video in anyone is interested:

I like the way they re attached the rubber flap. I don't think the SDHQ winch plate takes this into consideration.
