Today I reinstalled the winch on the Jeep.  This is the second time this winch has been on Ole Blue and will most likely not be the last Jeep it is installed on.  But for now, it is set...

What I found out is that the only difference between the CJ winch plate configuration vs. the YJ, is the end pieces that connect to the frame.  The CJ's turn down and connect to the side of the frame and the YJ's connect to the top of the frame.  The actual plate itself, where the winch bolts to, is the same.

My next step will be to install the remote winch controller.  There are already holes in the dash from the first install.  So it's just a matter of putting everything back in place.  The BIG action item is still to install the 30 spline axles and locker.  Stay tuned...
