well the icy snow didnt let me test it well today and its supposed to snow on thurs so hopefully everything will be working by then. and i really need the winch cause the plow kept hitting hard spots and the plow would go down and get the truck stuck

thats a good idea but im not that electronically inclined and i think my stock controler does not have an option for another servo unless i get rid of the rear steer I also did some changes. the plow hookup to the brace is different so ill get pics asap |

i got a little engineering problem. so if i would hook up a winch to the plow it would not lift it cause the distance does not change when it lifts up. if anyone has an idea or more questions id appreciate it.  thats where it hinges. it used to be hinged down by the main bracket but it wasnt very strong. |
