I recently purchased this product to mount a Warn RT30 to my 2004.5 Sportsman 500. After attaching the winch and fairlead to the mount, I thought for sure that there wouldn't be enough room to get a socket around the winch to bolt the mount to the frame, but I was wrong. Using a 3/8" drive socket and extension, I had no problems what-so-ever. Unlike some of the other mounts I considered around this price range, this mount is made of heavy steel and the welds are very clean. Installation was a piece of cake and it looks great on my wheeler.
