New grenadier winch options

[jvkintheusa]

Has anyone rigged up a front plate to the lfd winch tray?

Also just wondering if anyone has fitted the Warn Zeon 12-s to the LFD?

I believe that is shows one installed on their website

Awaiting LFD winch tray also

I received the lfd tray a week ago and installed it over the weekend. Several QC issues with the tray. Might be a one-off but I contacted lfd directly to make them aware.
1. On the passenger side the pre-threaded holes in the cradle for the cover are M8 whereas the ones on the driver side are M10s (what they should be since the OEM bolts are M10.
2. The holes in the winch cradle that attached to the frame are so large that the OEM flange nuts do not fully cover the openings therefore the cradle is not securely mounted to the frame. I had to find some large washers to ensure a proper fit.

Yea, there were a couple of issues with mine as well, interesting to see I'm not the only one. I wrapped up yesterday and ran into a couple misaligned threaded holes that needed to be cleaned up. Also, there were a couple of fitment issues, including the lower tabs on the plate cover that go underneath the bumper (only allowed one bolt without dremeling) and the cover bolt holes as you mentioned. All in all, not terrible, but seems like QC might be a little lacking. Why wouldn't you confirm all the threads are good before shipping?

Edit: Wanted to add that the winch plate is really solid. Its beefy and I have no doubts it will manage whatever the winch throws at it.
