Why do winch plates cost so much?
We are normally lower than the big mail order companies regarding this issue, but some people still think they’re way too expensive. Probably the biggest misconception here is due to the term “plate”. Yes, alot of fabricated mounts are as simple as it sounds. However, if you order a winch manufacturer’s “mounting kit”, normally it’s more complex than that, since they are engineered to fit your vehicle perfect, be as safe as possible, include all needed hardware, etc. 13.
