Winch Installation Help
so i've got my winch and I am installing it right now. I'm having a problem with the fairlead as I don't have anything that can cut 1/4" steel too well. I have a good drill and a crappy jigsaw. Is there any way I can cut out the center section for the winch cable to pass through with just those tools or will I have to get someone else to cut it out. Also would a sawzall *sp* be the best thing to cut it out or what??

oooo, i c.
ur cutting the bumper...makes since now.
best way to cut 1/4in is with a sawzall or a cutting torch, but if u had a cutting torch you wouldnt be asking im sure
just mark ur holes, drill out each corner with a big drill bit and go to town.
remember to filt down any sharp edges do you done run the winch cable
