4th gen winch on a 3rd gen?

If it's about Power Wagons, all generations, this is where it'll go. This is the original PWR Forum Power Wagon Technical Discussion Section. And this includes everything that doesn’t fit in any one of the other categories related to the truck goes here!

Not quite sure ... I've scoured the Internet, but can't find different part numbers for the two. I could have sworn they were different, but can't seem to verify. Might be worth calling a dealership to verify.

Thats still a pretty damn good deal with the mount.

The winch should work fine, although maybe in needs to be flipped? The mount on the other hand, that probably wont work. Im sure the frames are different.

I've got both trucks, but I'm 300 miles away from the 3 gen right now. I'll look at them side by side when I eventually get back home ( if you haven't gotten an answer by then).

If the brackets looks the same. Measure the distance across where it mounts to the frame. On both a 3G, 4G, and a 4.5G.
