NOTES
This WARN Trans4mer Gen II system can be customized to give your vehicle a wide variety of looks, front-end protection and winch mounting capability. The system starts with this winch carrier that attaches to the truck’s frame with brackets designed to handle up to a 16500 lb winch on some vehicles. This provides a mounting location for a Warn winch. It is durable and good looking as a stand-alone winch mount, but can be easily upgraded with some great options! You can first add a center Grille Guard Tube that provides a mounting location for other accessories. You can add a light bar that adds even more protection and includes tabs for mounting auxil-iary lights. You can mount a front receiver bracket that provides a mounting location for a multi-mount Warn winch. Finally, headlamp guards that protect the headlights and front corners of the vehicle can be easily added to the grille guard.
