Ron,
I have the RN winch plate, here's a picture:

What kind of fairlead are you going to use? That will dictate how small
your hole can be - I would strive for the smallest hole possible to retain
some structural integrity across the front of the bumper. I used a sabre
saw with a metal blade to cut the hole in the bumper - lost my hand crank
capability. Also-- use one big grade 8 bolt through the bumper on each end.
If I can give more specifics, lemmyno.

Subject: [lro] RoversNorth Winch Plate for Series Trucks
I just received the above from RN by UPS tonight and I am having some
trouble
figuring this whole thing out. The instructions are vague at best. The
plate
has angle iron welded in place to slip inside the Series bumper from the
back
and then gets held in place by two upper and two lower bolts. There's no
way
to tell if it goes up or down. The thing also requires a 2" x 8" hole be
cut
into my bumper. RN told me the plate required drilling into the frame
horns,
but that I did not have to cut a huge section of bumper out.
So anyone have a diagram of their winch plate that I could copy and have
built? If not and I get stuck with this thing can someone tell me how I can
cut the hole in the bumper? No blow torch here fellas.
Thanks
Ron Ward
