WINch mount woes

[wanderer]

So I was in an accident did Minor damage to the bumper the Honda was toast Barely bent my bumper. I had not transferred the winch from my old 2018 jlur to the jtr. I had pulled it off and taken the winch mount plate Artec . So I thought while I was getting the bumper replaced I’ll just have the dealer put it on. Right bumper is already off. No big deal Right ? Well they got the winch on but it is such a tight fit like 1/16 inch clearance front and rear. And. They couldn’t get the front lower skid plate back on. This is a dealer with a lifted Mojave with a warn Zeon on it. Wtf

It wasn’t like that on the jlur.the winch is a super winch 10k exp with synthetic line . The Jeep is a jtr rubicon the winch mount plate is artec. I am not sure but I think they left the spacers out which would move the bumper out about 3/8s inch or so and move the winch further away from grill. Does any one have any experience with this dilemma.? I should have just done it myself ughh

Yes, the spacers on the winch plate move everything forward. You need to clearance the rear holes in the skid by the same amount.
