P1000 problems with KFI winch mount?

[Dragon21]

I know there has been lots of talk about the concern of the pull angle due to the KFI winch mount. Has anyone actually experienced issues from this? I completely see the point of making a new hole for a straight pull, however I dont want to do that due to potentioal for rocks to hit that area, and in mud/ water thats going to be harder to get to.

But my superwinch had a bolt strip out and ruined the winch. Im not sure if thats due to the pull angle of the KFI mount, or the crappy hardware used in the superwinch.

Im replacing the core with a WARN and prefer not to wreck this winch as well.

Im using the full honda bumper which i prefer to stay with as well.

I have a KFI setup with the Honda bumper and have maxed it out on a couple occasions and the mounts are still holding up fine.

the mount was loose and bent when I took the bumper off the other day to check it. Drilled a couple extra holes in the front plate and tightened everything up. Use it twice this weekend, but not hard pulls. I am looking at the other mounted to see if they mount differently, I may replace it. It doesn't have the best pull angle.

Hated having to reach under at awkward angle to set it to free spool, so...switched it up a little..

KFI 2" front receiver keeps it out of the mud and hasn't given me any problems yet!

But even with the KFI winch mount being discussed have never had problems with the Warn ProVantage 4500 mounted! I would just recommend regular inspection of items throughout the machine!

Preventative Maintenance!

Brother in Law broke a bolt on his KFI, bought a EMP and has had zero issues. I ordered a EMP...........will have more feedback in a week or two.
