Been having this winch for about 8 months and I finally got around to installing it!

I wanted it to hide behind the stock bumper...so let the cutting begin


Made some brackets out of 1/4" angle iron.



And utilized some factory holes even tho I still welded them



Had to shorten engagement bolt


Removable bracket






Welded brackets in


Bolted winch plate up



Now you see it!


Now you don't!



Had so much fun I went ad did a donut

cool and clean install. nice job!

 

very nice! Power wagons got nothing on you haha

 

Looks good, I like it. Functional and hidden.

 

What he said! Looks absolutely perfect.

 

Thanx guys! Time to pull something!!

 

Time to hook it up to the top of a tree and test out the mount.

I've been debating whether to do a mount like you did or a multi mount. Cant decide.

What kind of hwy mileage are you getting at what mph?

 

Nicely done!!! Didn't know there was that much room back there! Kinda forgot how much room there is when there is no turbo stuff in the way.

 

Yeah that turbo stuff takes up some room but is well worth the realestate!

As far as hwy mileage I haven't been on a trip without towing something so I don't know yet! But I'm sure this 402 will drink the gas!

 

Ah, forgot about the stroker motor. Time to update buikd thread with the new goodies. Im interested to see how welk the rough country winch hokds up. The price looks really good for sure
