Finally got my winch mounted without stripping anything
Spent 3 hours last Saturday fighting with a Harbor Freight winch plate on my '94 YJ. The bolts just would not catch right until I remembered a tip about using a ratchet strap to pull the crossmember into alignment. Took maybe 20 minutes after that and everything lined up perfectly. Has anyone else had luck with this trick on older frames?

Yeah, that ratchet strap trick is pure gold on older frames. Kept me from losing my mind when my bolts wouldn't bite on my '95 YJ. Just gotta make sure the strap is pulling dead straight or it'll fight you the whole time.
