It's a good idea to mount the winch under the hood
i've seen some guys mount it on their axles,stupid huh

but i'm also surprised that a 80oz servo snapped something

are you just gonna use reg rope instead How about a steel cable

Well mounting it to the axle is good to keep COG down, but I dont plan on actually "winching" to anything really. Im just going to use it to lower the ride hight in the front. I think im just going to go out to the shed and rob some 17lb test fishing line off of my stealhead rod. That will have less memmory and is a LOT stronger than the phone wire.

knok2222 · 10-31-2006, 02:26 PM

ThinkTank · 10-31-2006, 02:48 PM

when are you gonna test it off road
be sure to take pics for me

knok2222 · 10-31-2006, 02:55 PM

I still have to order links and shocks, and have it powdercoated.

ThinkTank · 10-31-2006, 02:59 PM

ok i'll be waiting

knok2222 · 10-31-2006, 05:21 PM

lots of looks no comments or suggestions?

knok2222 · 10-31-2006, 08:52 PM

You dont think Im in a hurry?

ThinkTank · 10-31-2006, 10:42 PM

have you done any other work beside the winch

knok2222 · 11-01-2006, 06:36 PM

well, cant really go any further till I get my links, and wheels. I really cant make up my mind on what color powdercoat. Double J can get it in a REALLY cool looking copper vein. I think that would look sweet. anyone here ever seen this color before in person?

BRONCOBASS · 11-01-2006, 10:04 PM
