rangerboy101 11-21-2009 07:26 PM

Looks good. Kinda small though don't you think?

rangermark 11-21-2009 07:33 PM

Its ok for now, 3000lb, single line pull. I can use block/tackle to double it if need be. I usually dont get that stuck.

camodown 11-21-2009 07:34 PM

is that an atv winch?

FMD 11-21-2009 07:42 PM

Ok now you have my interest. I want pics as to how you mounted that.

rangermark 11-21-2009 07:49 PM

No, its not ATV winch. although I guess it could be. To mount it I took off both tow hooks that were mounted by 3 bolts each. I got 3/8 inch plate 20" long. Used the mounting holes for the tow hooks that were in the frame drilled 4 -1/2 holes in the plate. Thats all there was to it. Really was easy. The winch will not pull me out if I am really stuck, but it is better than nothing.

rangermark 11-21-2009 07:53 PM

And also, the winch was FREE

I think you're better off having tow hooks than that toy on the front of your truck...:wink:....seriously though, do you now have no tow hooks, or is it removable?

4x4RangerOffroad 11-21-2009 08:13 PM

hahahah, sorry but that is a joke

Crackerstein 11-21-2009 08:26 PM

sorry to de-rail your thread but do you ahve any pics of the front of your truck from further away?

I wanna see better how those lights look

WillInThe04Ranger 11-21-2009 08:35 PM

You wanna ........ sell me them tow hooks?

Downey 11-21-2009 08:46 PM

dude that cable isnt strong enough for your truck you have death hazard on the front of your truck. IMO this is ****ing stupid. a Smittybilt is only 300 dollars. i hope this is a joke if not remove and put your tow hooks back on and wheel with a friend. because if you get so stuck that another ranger cant pull you out you will burn that pos up in about a minute

Haha, I'm sorry Downey but that was funny.

I got the same winch on my trailer. Works good for pulling a rolling car onto the trailer.
