07 Big Bear Winch Mount

Hi I am new here. Just bought a Big Bear a couple of weeks ago. Putting a winch on today. Got it mounted, but the rollers and the winch are pointing upward, is this normal? Does the rollers go inside or outside the bumper? Thanks, I am new to the 4X4 Atv scene.

What kind of winch is it??? I work for Yamaha and you shouldn't have to have a plate. That may be the problem. The only plate you should have is the one that goes under the winch to bolt the Fairlead on.

It's a Wood Power Winch. The dealer put it on for nothing, but he said he had to order another mounting plate. I quess that is what he was talking about. I don't really care, it didn't cost me nothing. I ws just wondering if your winches pointed at an upward angle like mine does and the rollers are inside the bumper. Maybe they mounted it wrong. I'll go get my picture and be right back. Anyone got this winch? A few poeple said it was good for the money? Thanks

Do you have to have pictures up on internet to post them? Can I just get them off my harddrive?
