Did anyone have to notch out their bumper in order for the warn powerplant 9.5 winch to for on the Evo 1/4 pounder?!

I bought one about 4 months ago and the winch dropped right in. Yours looks a little different across the front than mine. This winch installed for me in about 45 minutes. The fit is tight so I used a strap to drop it in and a box to protect the grill.

Also used a grinder to gain a little more clearance, no big deal.

I see you're running a Powerplant with synthetic line and roller fairleads, I was told by someone that you should use a hawse fairlead if you run synthetic and roller fairleads if you run wire cable. Any truth to that? How's the Synthetic faring for you?

Yes you are correct I just haven't gotten around to ordering one yet! I haven't bought a hook yet either lol! I wouldn't recommend using the roller fair lead for a synthetic winch cable itself just to be on the safe side but if you would like to donate one that would be awesome for a poor college student!

If a roller fair lead has never had steel cable ran through it, you can use synthetic line. The rollers can be to rough and cause damage to your line, if previously used with steel cable.

Yeah actually mine are kinda chewed up from the previous winch cable at a couple extreme angles I have had her in. But now I'm debating either order the polyurethane rollers or buy an aluminal fair lead?

You might be able to keep it and just sand it down to smooth it out. Not sure if that is possible. Wondering....
