Just became a owner of a 01 Argo Bigfoot. Need to put a winch on it still. does anyone have a source for winch mounts for this machine other than argo they are way expensive for a only 2000# winch and mount.

Reason: no need for the same post in two places
I would talk to your local dealer and ask if there's some misunderstanding about what you're buying. The internal hoop that comes up off the frame, and internal and external plates, the external one having the roller fairlead built in. If he still says 750 then you can look at having someone in the lower 48 send you one. 750 has to be a mistake. If not, I'm going to start coming up every summer with an 8 wheeler full of parts and pay for the trip.
Leo's is in Ohio.. if you can find a dealer that will ship from the lower 48, which I hear Argo won't allow, you should shop from the NW US for less shipping costs?
I saw a dude with a winch on the trailer hitch receiver
I would not recommend this on models with out the tubular bar at the back of the frame. I saw a guy with a winch that went in the trailer hitch receiver and ran heavy cables that doubled as trolling motor connection.
Saved on the winch mount but you could not use it for the snow plow option
akexpress, were are you located? Shoot me a pm. I can fab up a mount for you for a whole lot less if your close to anchorage. Maybe even a quick disconnect type mount so you can run it front and rear.
It's not a matter of life or death. It's much more important than that!

I just moved to anchorage, i bought an 8x8 argo response and wanted a winch mount fabed. Could you fab me up one? i just live on elmendorf afb. thanks.
Our Argo dealer here in Alaska will rake you over the coals for just about anything. Their is a dealer in Colorado that will sell you parts/argo without any problems. They say they do alot of business for Alaska customers because our dealer charges twice as much for most stuff.
