Cheapest one I know of. As long as the winch has the same spacing on the mounting bolts, which almost all do, you can use whatever brand you want. I have the Warn mount and a Smittybilt 8k winch.

I have been beating the crap out of my Harbor Freight winch and I have not had any issues with it.

It's on sale for $300 right now. Seriously, research this thing. It's a gem. Pair it up with the wireless remote - it's well worth the extra $30.

I built my own mount for it.
