Plywood is too hard compared to Oak. Particle board would probably be the best material. And definitely DONT use a sealer on it, or else it wont set up properly.

And what the hell does OSB stand for? Old Saggy *****?

 

I heard cardboard was best it holds water and keeps the winch cool,

but i used this http://www.rlcweldfab.com/index.php/...roduct=9329405

 

Damn... He went there lol

 

what year????

 

This.

Plate suggestions lol? I'm thinking about tacking some 1/4 stock on it and then welding a 90* angle on for the fairlead?

 

.. didnt you see all of our suggestions? I've actually got a winch plate you could steal some dimensions off of if you want.

 

Well I know the 4 bolts need to go through my bumper but i dont know what i should put under the winch and fairlead because the 3/16 isnt strong enough.

 

I'm not sure what this winch plate is.. I'm thinking maybe 3/8"? I've actually got another that i'll give you if i can find it. You could cut it up and weld it to your bumper. It's already got the plate for the fairlead and everything.

 

I think im going to measure and take some 1/4 or 3/8 flat stock and make a base for the winch. Then, weld a rectangle up for the fairlead. and probably gusset it somehow. Wont know till i get it.

 

You could always message Dennis and tell him to send you some pictures of how his winch is mounted up.

 

I did in november but i got a new phone so i probably will text him.

 

the plate my winch will be bolted to is 1/4 gusseted to 1.5" tubing.

 

What about the fairlead?
