Alright... so I bought a Warn M8000. I though it would come with the necessary mounting hardware. Was the ARB supposed to have that? I bought my ARB new and had a shop install it, but I don't think they gave me the spare parts back! Now I have my winch and I don't see how to mount it in there... what are my options? |

You have to remove the ARB to install the winch,it sits inside the bumper.The ARB instructions include how to mount the winch.You will need to re-drill the roller fairlead with new holes to mount it to the bumper.The winch comes with all the required hardware to mount the winch. |

So I need no other hardware besides the stuff that comes with the winch?

But it looks like I need the license plate bracket so I can mount the control box on it. I don't have that.

You don't need the LP bracket but you do need the control box bracket. |

Finished for the most part. I still need to put the fog light bezels back in and I'm still missing the control box bracket and license plate bracket. I have the control box zip tied for the time being.

Here's mine showing the LP bracket is different than the control box bracket:  Another showing the utimate solenoidless, waterproof and variable-speed control box of which I was part of field testing...... because I'm kind of a big deal.

ARB Seth can probably tell you where/how to get them. |

Mate, The entire thing should have come with your bar in the box. You should not be spending extra $$ for parts for the winch install. |

Like I said, the shop kept some parts. Namely, the license plate and control box brackets. |
