YES!!!!!!!!!! I had the same problem but it's the right mount you just dont have the back hammered down good. You need to take the winch off the mount and beat the piss out of it until the mount in the back is flat on the frame. You can do this with the bolts in just loosen them up so it will move. It took me a while before I figured this out because mine hit the support on the head light too. Once you have it flat and the front u-bolts tight there should be about a 1/4 inch space between the support and the winch. Its a very very tight fit but it will fit.

His he bent to #!% to get it to mount up.

How did you bend it? Mine is thick and I don't think I could bend it if I had to.

Oh one more thing when you do hook up the gorilla winch up the short wires go to the winch and the long wires go to the battery. I read the instructions and the wording had a typo in it but the pictures had it right. The wording says to mount the box under the right rear inner finder. There is no right rear inner finder, there is a front right inner finder.

Well when I first put it on I thought I had it all the way on also but it was not. I say try it again and beat on it above the bolt holes and see how it does. The front bumper mounts that go there should but under it. I had to get the bolts started first and then beat it into place. It took some working and swearing and getting mad and more beating but it went on. You dont need to take the bumper all the way off like it says just the skid plate and the black front plastic. Thank God mine is new and I don't beat it to death or I would have never got the front bumper back on. Anyway it will go on...Unless they sent the wrong mount. Do you have a picture of it? What ebay store did you/he get it from?

BFH I love BFH's! I used the bigest ratchit I have, it's already broke and I don't have a BFH lol. And yes the 450 frame is nothing like the 500 frame. If you look on this site there are lots of pics of them. If I have time tonight I will look for some.

I'm sooooooooo glad I am not the only one who seen the typo! Where do you ride in St. Louis?

Try removing motor from winch body, 1/4 turn and you should have her dicked.

Can and how can you do this? I wondered about it but did not know if it would work. But you would want the mount to be mounted right.
