Description

Our H3 & H3T Hummer Hidden Winch Mount offers a robust and discreet solution for integrating an 8,000 lb. to 12,000 lb. winch into your H3 or H3T Hummer. Engineered for durability, this mount is constructed from heavy-duty 3/8” steel and secured with four high-strength bolts (two 5/8” and two 3/4”) to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Designed for a seamless installation process, this product requires no permanent modifications to your Hummer. The majority of installation time is dedicated to relocating the control box solenoid.

Installation

In late 2015, we collaborated with a customer to successfully install our H3 Hummer Hidden Winch Mount. The customer provided the mount and a Warn VR-8000 Synthetic Winch, while we offered technical expertise and tools. The installation process was completed in approximately five hours, with brief interruptions to acquire the necessary components. To optimize the winch’s accessibility and functionality, a clutch adjustment was required, necessitating the use of a specialized T-25 Torx bit. This collaborative effort resulted in a successful installation and a satisfied customer.
