Thanks got mine tonight
Thanks for posting the weight.I could not wait to open the box. 58.5 for the winch weight. That's winch,rope,control box with positive lead.
I'm going to run the Maximus 3 plate. I already have their D-ring mounts up front.
Thanks for sharing!The HF Apex winch is on sale this weekend for $499.
You are going to love it! It's an incredible winch for the price. I used mine a lot last month in the snow and it performed great. We worked it hard pulling two trees out of the Forrest through 4' of snow. I really like the safety of the synthetic rope and wireless remote. I was able to walk away from the vehicle and control the winch out where we attached the line to the trees.Bought one yesterday and installed it this morning. Looks great. Hoping it works as well as it looks.

I just picked up the winch from my local HFT! Did you end up having any trouble with the spool lever using the warn winch plate, such as rubbing against the bumper? Trying to decide whether to go with warn or JCR...I just got my winch install finished up. Badland Apex winchwith Warn winch plate.
I did, slightly. I used the Warn winch plate. I'm guessing the JCR plate is going to mount the winch in the same place. But maybe, just maybe it will raise it just a tad to where the lever clears the bumper. I took an angle grinder and a metal grinder disc and ground out the bottom portion of the lever. I did this after I installed the winch. Doing it before would be much easier. I didn't explore removing the lever to do the grinding. I saw at my HFT the one they had on display had the lever removed so I'm guessing it's possible.I just picked up the winch from my local HFT!
