I have had several questions about installing the new Viper V2 by Motoalliance on a Pioneer 1000 in reguards to fitment issues.
Finally today I found some time to install one in a factory bumper and was able to install with no issues.
Below are some pictures and a few details on each.
I hope this helps.

Here is the back side of mount plate.

there are 2 concerning points to discuss.
The funny tab at the top and the differential bracket. The winch mount plate goes under it just slightly.

At the bottom, the plate rest on the differential bracket and may appear to not fit.
When installing,
tighten the lower U bolts first making sure the top plate is UNDER the tab shown above.
This will push it into place and snug it up against the frame.

Then install the fairlead and the mount is complete.

I will not be covering wiring at this time as it is the same for every other winch on the market.
Any questions just let me know.
Thanks.
