This is a mount I made with some items from the local home improvement store.

These are the material used. You will need 2 packages of clamps.

The first thing to do is put the clamp on the roller head and use a hammer to reshape them to fit tightly around the roller

Cut steel to proper size

you will want to mount one side of the clamps on the steel plate with the long side of the clamp towards the outside. Test fit this on the roller head and mark the location for the other clamps.

Test fit the final assembly and paint it when your done

Final product. The mount is very difficult to install on the rollers because the clamps are so tight. You will need to secure one side at a time to get on both rollers. I been running it for a few weeks and haven't had any problems with it.
Hope this helps
Great write up Eugene!! I might have to borrow this idea. Thanks for the detailed pictures.
Thanks man, if i dont come up with something on my own i will defintly try this. Thanks again man.
Something else you can do is get the mag light holders. They fit a roller fairlead perfectly. Mount it to the plate and call it a day. Think I paid 5.99 for the pair.
Hey so im installing my new smittybuilt xrc bumper and i live in so cal and was wondering if anyone knew do we have ro have the front plate or will be ok since there is no mount?
My son carries his in his rig. If he gets pulled very he has it. Not sure if it will keep him out of a tickets or not.
