It's a good idea to mount the winch under the hood
i've seen some guys mount it on their axles,stupid huh:lol:
but i'm also surprised that a 80oz servo snapped something:shock:
are you just gonna use reg rope instead How about a steel cable8)

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.

[ThinkTank]

[LIKES2CRAWL]

[knok2222]

3 more pics after I added another piece of metal to the other side and took the phone cord off. works good. still have the pencil lead on the swivel! lol

 

[ThinkTank]

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

 

[knok2222]

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

 

[ThinkTank]

ok i'll be waiting

 

[knok2222]

lots of looks no comments or suggestions?

 

[knok2222]

You dont think Im in a hurry?

 

[ThinkTank]

have you done any other work beside the winch

 

[knok2222]

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]
