Warn 9.5ti Multi-mount

[Michael Baker]

I have been using the 9.5ti Multi-mount for a couple of years, and has saved my life once.

I believe that the logic behind not leaving it mounted on the front is that you may, unexpectedly, go through a puddle that turns out to be a lake. In this case you will want to winch the car out backwards, but the winch may be underwater at the front.

I have a third-row twin seat, and have adapted the mounting rails so that I can actually bolt down the winch on these railings when I am not using the third-row twin seat.

When I do use the third row seat, I mount the winch on the front. The first few times I did this I saw that (especially off-road) that the winch rattles a lot in the receiver (it is only held in place by the bolt). I tried some rubber tarps, but finally settled on some metal tensioners. These are screwed-tight between a hole I drilled in the winch frame and the rings on the front of the car. This is rock-solid, no rattle.
