i like the concept but 325 seems a bit steep for this mount. Anyone else with thoughts?

It would be nice :D if you could list the plans and specs on your design so us do it your selfers can fabricate one of our own.:rolleyes:

You will make alot of friends :D :cool:

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

I love making new friends, but I did put a lot of time & energy into this design, and figure if I can sell a few I can make back my investment in R&D & that fine Warn winch. I've emailed flyers to most Hummer dealerships around the country, just want to recoup my $$, then I'll share! I don't really want to get into the shipping business too far.

What price do you guys think is fair? This is a fine piece of work, laser cut & made to fit...why spend the time & effort to fab one when I've done the hard work? There's nothing like it on the market.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Is your item Patent Pending? Considering the price of a new hitch and the price of the other designs out there, I think $199.00 would be fair.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

looks like a nice kit

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Cris -

I like the work that you've done and appreciate the effort. However I think that $325 is way too high for what this item is.

Price this at $200-225 and I think that you'll probably sell a bunch.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

X2, at that price I would definitely be in for one. You have done a great job and I certainly understand wanting/needing to recoup your cash and time investment but when you can get the bumper mount for $650 it does make it a tougher sell at $325 I think.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

OK, you've all convinced me. Members of this forum can purchase for $225 + shipping, I'll save the big price for the outside world. You're the ones that helped me to find the right balance of ideas, and I'm not out to make a lot off this (c'mon...the market isn't that big). Honestly, they cost me around $190 each, and I'm picking up 4 tomorrow....I don't really want to sit on them or use 'em for ballast, I want you guys to put them to good use.

H3Hummer, why do you ask about Patent? You want to buy my plans? I wasn't thinking about having to police the world to see if anyone copied it....

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

I'll send you a PM in a minute.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

I'm interested at this price. Do you have any pics of the mount unmounted?
Thanks-

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Pic attached, I just picked up the first batch today.

EDIT- this is of the prototype, edges are a little rough...finals are lasercut

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Looking good. Winch ordered and looking forward to installing :)

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

What does it weigh? How much shipped to Seattle, 98199?

Thanks again -

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

I can't answer but I was actually surprised how cheap to FL.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

weighs 40.5 lbs, UPS Ground to Seattle is $65.00

Side pic with stock grill guard

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Looking at the mount in that picture, it looks like its ment for a H3 with a grill guard. Well what if you dont have a grill guard. It might look weird sticking out that far. Anyway of making one so that it sits closer to the grill??

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

They're already made as is, mount only extends 8" out from grill, the idea was to design it so it would fit with or without the stock guard. I had it on for a week without the grill guard to see how it looked, it really doesn't stick out that far, looks like it belongs there.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

I have to agree. I was sold from the front but from the side it doesn't look as good. It looks like a good funtional product I just don't like how far out it is, especially the fairlead.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Dont get me wrong, I like the product. Just thought it would look better pressed up against the grill. It sits a little too far for me to buy one. But then again, its just me.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Sorry I am slow - the reason I ask about the patent pending is because you have done a lot of work and I would hate for someone to just take your idea.


In regards to how far it sticks out, I think with a non-roller fairlead it would be fine.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

I love it!!

Sign me up!!:D

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Cris,

Do you have a sandwich shot with the brush guard? I am assuming they go in this order, brush guard, winch mount then tow hooks. Just want to make sure. Anything I need to know about the install?

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Don't have a sandwich shot here, can take one if you need, but you've got the order right. I had a plastic shim between my tow hooks & bumper, so order went...shim, brush guard, winch mount, tow hooks. You'll need an assistant to hold it all in place while you start the bolts. My winch wiring went right through the round holes in the lower grill opening, easy pass around the radiator, then you've gotta cut small slots in the battery post covers to let the wire through.

Easy, no mods necessary!

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Sounds good, thanks. Don't think there is any need to take another pic, looks like you just provided all the info I need. Will post pics when installed.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

It can't get any closer! Gotta have room for a winch in there somewhere:) . It's the roller fairlead that makes it look like it's sticking out a long way, but look in the pics...it doesn't look out of place at all, and it's not sitting in the mud.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

I like Chris...very very tempting.:cool:

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

You can check it out in person in 10 days :D

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Mine arrived today so hope to get it all installed over the next couple of days.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Chris, I sent you a PM. Thanks.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Are the mounts still available?

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Yup, I have one left here...$225 for forum members.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Done! I'll send you a PM.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Don't fight over it, I can have more made!

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Thanks Chris. I am still debating over which way I want to go for the winch. It might be awhile, I am just checking out my options.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Hi,

Do you still have one left? If not how long till you get more done?

I want one for sure, though need to know if you will ship to Vancouver Canada.

Postal Code V3W-3H9. Thanks!

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

hey Chris, mark me down for one when you get some more made. I definitely want one, just not in a huge hurry right now. Just bought a brushguard and gps, have spread out the purchases to keep my wife happy.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

Koolhandz, I sent you a Private Message.

Re: H3 winch mounts for sale
 

OK, enough of you are interested that I'll have another batch made up...don't want anyone stuck on the trails. PM me if you want one!

Had the great pleasure of winching my buddy's Jeep out of a mudhole this weekend (after I made it through!), but had no camera to document the feat.:crying:
