    Hi guys,
    I'm thinking about buying an electric Ramsey Patriot 8000 winch to the Jeepster. Ramsey makes a mounting plate for the 1970 CJ and Scrambler. Will this fit on the Jeepster? I've always wondered if the CJ and the Jeepster share the same front frame design.
    Thanks, Nathan

    I used a CJ mount for my Warn,it took some fabrication work to make it fit.
    You woun't find a direct bolt on mount.

    I found when you own a Commando,a welder and haveing fabrication skills helps alot.

    I have a jeepster hood and grill on my '59 cj. I used these and the front crossmember and motor mounts from a jeepster parts rig to swap in my v-6 after the original crossmember was cut for the 360. I took a bunch of measurements on the two and found that from the rear of the front fenders forward they are the same. I have a warn 8274 on my cj and it is mounted with a normal winch mounting plate with slight modifications.
