Warn winches and Warn Side x Side mounting kits are engineered together as a system to provide maximum pulling power while withstanding the stresses encountered in winching operations. The mounting systems bolt directly to the Side x Side's structure - no cutting or fabrication required. During winching, the combination of a Warn winch and Warn mounting kit distributes the weight of the pulling load throughout the Side x Side's frame, providing extra stability and minimizing the possibility of damaging the Side x Side or affecting its ride and handling. Together as a system they are field tested to full winch capacity to provide the best performance standards in the industry and give you the results you expect. The Warn Side x Side winch mounting system is designed to mount your Warn winch onto your Side x Side. Each mounting systems is designed for a specific Side x Side make and model. All mounting hardware and instructions are included.
