Which winch mount is everyone using on their 2016/2017 Rubicon's? Warn-Kfi or ???: :icon_question:

instead of asking which mount they are using on that model ?, maybe it would be better to just ask which mount are they using at all ?. I favor KFI, price is great, made in USA, well worth the money in my book. not saying anything is wrong with warn products ?!, as I use nothing but their winches !.

Unless you buy the winch kit from Honda, I would go with the KFI plate. The Honda plate without the winch is pricey.

The Warn/Honda kit is the only one that doesn't require trimming the plastics to fit.....which is what I run.

I have the Warn/Honda winch kit too. I didn't realize you had to trim anything with the KFI plate. Good to know.

It's not a huge deal, but it bothers some people.

I have the KFI Moun t with the KFI 3500 stealth Winch and I only had to trim a little plastic and it wasn't a big deal at all. And I'm one of those who is slightly bothered by trimming? What I don't like is that I can't easily see the spool of the winch. I'm considering getting the strongmade bumper with the high winch mount for that reason.

The trimming is minimal but can be a deal breaker for some.

One thing that irks me a little with all the aftermarket bumpers is that they tack them onto factory ones. I think they would be stronger and look better if they were made as a replacement.

I run the Warn kit from Honda with the Provantage 2500


DaBomb and I figured out the install after we already figured it out... LOL

Any questions on install, don't hesitate... There is a thread floating somewhere showing my install..
