NHMJXJ Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Was this a factory option? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeep-Comanche-DUMP-BODY-/141615074589?forcerrptr=true&hash=item20f8ea8d1d&item=141615074589#ht_94wt_925
HOrnbrod Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Was not a factory option, it was the Ramsey hidden winch kit #295153. You could order it dealer installed or buy the kit and DIY. They pop up rarely on Ebay and other sources. I have the installation manual and specs for it. Neat option for an MJ or XJ. This would be a great truck if the rust termites haven't eaten it all up.
NHMJXJ Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Cool option, but it doesn't add much in the way of "looks". Seems appropriate for this truck though ... it looks like a good worker. I may take a look at this this weekend. Not to buy, but to give everyone up close details. It's minutes from my parents house.
yellaheep Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Auction details say "power take off winch"........... Not likely. That'd require an unusual t-case and I don't see any additional shift levers..... and we all know there's no room for another driveshaft to run up to a PTO winch. Neat truck though. Would be killer to get that dump bed working again.
Kerry Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 If you go look at it could you take some pictures of the winch itself and see if there's a part number on it? I have a NOS AMC/Ramsey mounting kit but am a little unsure which winch to use. Thanks in advance.
HOrnbrod Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Looks like the kit instructions call for a Ramsey REP 6000 or REP 4500 winch.
NHMJXJ Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 If I go to see it, I will definitely bring a camera.
NHMJXJ Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 The guy has been unresponsive to email through ebay ... I sent a message midweek and last night with no reply.
HOrnbrod Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Have you tried him through Craigslist? http://capecod.craigslist.org/cto/4944068568.html
NHMJXJ Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Ahhh ... nope. :doh: I will now though! Funny thing is, he did post a reply to an inquiry someone else asked about the condition.
NHMJXJ Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Never heard a word from the seller. Sold for $2500.

If anyone else has the instructions for this kit do see if you can help a fellow out.
Dzimm Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 I miss HOrnbrod.. Too bad the link and pictures are gone, I'd be interested to see this truck, sounds pretty interesting.
strictlyxjs Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 I was able to recover the original photos from this post. This thing still pops up for sale from time to time up here. I have the hidden winch set up if you need pics of how it is installed.
