Has anybody been able to install this winch on their 800? If so how did you do it? Is there a bracket you have found that will work?

WARN V4000 is a wide spool winch.
RZR 800 designed with clearance for ROPE on a narrow spool winch.

Take a look at this post for discussion of challenges involved. http://www.rzrforums.net/bumpers-sk...kid-plates-rzr-protection/108473-superwinch-tera-45-what-winch-mount-works.html

I just installed a WARN PV4500, wide spool in my RZR 800.
I used a FUSE Powersports, PN: 1607F mount Polaris RZR 800 Winch Mount Kit | Fuse Power Sports
I cut it in half lengthwise, widened to the wide spool bolt pattern, drilled new mounting holes in the bracket to align with existing holes in RZR frame, trimmed corners of mount to clear RZR frame, brake line,& throttle cable, and widened frame opening for winch rope.
I modified a MotoAlliance, PN: MA11200 fairlead to fit frame.
I added a UTV, PN: 2540 front upper A arm gusset plate to strengthen the frame (overkill is good).

The winch fits with no clearance issues. It is close to radiator hoses, but does not touch.
