is it possiable to mount a winch on the front of a 2000 400ex? i do alot of trail riding with buddies with 4x4s and they go threw stuff that i can't. and i don't have reverse either so thats a big pain... so all i wanna no is what do i have to make or order to make a winch fit.. thanks

yes you can. I think Dennis Kirk has a photo of a 400 with a winch in its catolog. Or atleast they used to. Here is a link of a moose mount kit. Im sure there are others and if it is made by moose im sure you can get it at just about any dealer or other suppliers.

I have one on mine as well, it was very easy to mount up. I got mine from Warn.

ya the whole 4x4 thing kills me but i think its more fun having a faster wheeler goin threw trails then just have the ability to go threw deep mud... as soon as i get the money to get the winch i am deff gonna put 1 on mine...

The mount is from Warn. I did nothing to it at all. The only thing I did was modify my front bumper with that extra tube on the top to protect the fairlead.
