|  Mounting a winch on the Axial Yeti - How I did it...
I wanted to add an RC4WD winch to my Yeti. I used velcro to mount the winch controller to the radio for easy access. Can operate the winch while driving the vehicle. Kept the fairlead tucked in as much as possible. Used a piece of aluminum angle to make the fairlead mount, secured by two screws through the top of the bumper. Mounted the winch on the front plate behind the shock tower. Made a roller setup to keep the winch line from rubbing on the bumper mount.      |

Looks good. How does that Warn winch work for you? I have one new in the package and was curious.

Well the truck isn't running right now, but just bench testing it works pretty well. Almost enough uumph to lift the entire truck off the ground. For the price I am impressed. I will pick up a snatch block to add to the pull power.
