Brought it home last weekend, already drilled some holes in it! Wife was a little nervous....
Already had a Badland/harbor freight 3500lb winch kicking around so figured I would put it to use. I've had phenomenal performance out of their smallest version (2500? Lb) for a log hoist in the pickup truck, so I stuck with them. Price is right anyway.
Used some 1/8 plate and 2x3/16 angle. Braced across the mounting holes with some misc. angle kicking around. Crappy welds across the front, bad wire on the mig. Dragged it with a loaded trailer in tow up a 10-15% incline no worries.
Next are some a-arm guides, and an honest skid plate to replace the plastic up front. Out comes the plasma....I'm too cheap to pay hundreds for simple brackets/gaurds!
