Winch Issues

[MntSwagg3r]

Need help. I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 Custom Trail Boss. On the front, I have a Midnight Front Bumper w/ Grille Guard PART NUMBER: MFC19HBM1. I am trying to figure out who or what I can get to be able to install a winch behind the opening part at the bottom. I've been waiting for a ranch hand to make one, but I don't think it will happen for this model. I don't really want to buy a new bumper, so a little help will be nice. I know I might have to get something mad,e but just trying the waters first.

There's the Harbor Freight universal winch mount plate:

Yep, I'd say your best bet is to find a hidden winch mount that fits behind the stock front bumper between the frame rails. (Google search for your model and year) Make sure you research what winch you want and measure it out thoroughly. You may need to relocate the control box and purchasing a winch with clock-able housings is a must so you can rotate the housing and have access to the clutch lever through the bumper without climbing underneath. Unknown is what you might need to modify on either the bumper or the mount to get them to fit together...

I have a winch mount that goes between the frame with an airdam replacement on my 21 Trail Boss, but I can't put it on because the winch I bought doesn't have a clockable release housing. The winch mount has the bottom facing forward instead of down like every other winch mount I had found. I found a different airdam/winch mount combo I want that has a bottom mounted winch plate which will work with my Rough Country 13K winch.

This is the winch mount I bought off ebay:
