Does anyone who has the Warn winch bumper have pictures or a copy of the mounting instructions? I need to find out if the mounting will conflict with the tow bar mount from Blue Ox. I am getting ready to install these on a 2006 H2. Going to tow it to Alaska.

Dick,

Do you have the instructions for the tow bar? If you do a search for the winch bumper install you'll find the instructions from me.

Basically there is an extension bracket that mounts in place of the tow hooks and you have to bore an extra hole in the frame. Then those extra brackents have mounts like the stock mounts where you bolt the tow hooks back into place.

The pull bar probably will bolt right into place where the tow hooks are with no problems.

That is exactly what I needed. I am waiting for the tow bar and the H2 to arrive. Thanks for the help.

Dick,

I looked at Blue Ox's website and it looks like they have a bar that mounts below the bumper just in front of the skid plate. I am not sure what this mounts to but it would appear that it would work fine with the Warn bumper. the bottom of the Warn bumper bolts up the same as the stock bumper does.

I saw that also. I am concerned about it hanging below the frame, getting scraped of on a rock etc. I have msged John D about an earlier post regarding a blue ox conversion to attach to the tow hooks. I want to be able to keep the tow hooks or I would use the roadmaster set up that uses brackets in place of the tow hooks.
