Looks like that guy had to do a lot of work. Maybe he was juat picky or his jeep was a little off. I didn't read the whole thing, just pictures.

That was a prototype, I think they modified it a little.

 

88whitemanche, take pictures of the installation and keep us updated.

Makes sense. Simple design. I like it. Hope it's not expensive. Could he made at home if someone was that set on it. Looks very well thought out

I love the design. It's about time someone built a hidden winch mount like this.

Very similar to mine, it works good but you have to be careful since you can't see how the cable is winding on the drum very well.

 

I took one wrap of cable off the drum to help keep it from jamming up, that seems to have helped a lot, i recently bought synthetic rope to swap out the cable, I'm hoping it winds up a little smaller which should help too.

I guess I've seen this a long time ago. I've been following it on his Instagram but didn't notice til juat now. I thought it was a homemade set up. Looks good

I was thinking the same...

i am waiting until after Christmas to pick up a synthetic winch line because the winch cable off my warn winch has been fraying a bit

 

where did you mount your solenoid box? 

I was trying to figure out where I can I put it so I can access it easier 

[mnkyboy]

My solenoid box is mounted to the winch facing the crank pulley, perk of having a 4banger.

Good to hear...

going to experiment a bit...

i have a late model 2.5 radiator fan shroud with the built in electric fan that allows you to use the 4.0 radiator 

 

[mnkyboy]

4.0l radiator is what i use too.

Are you guys using the Warn M8000 or the Smittybilt 9000 winches? I'm curious which other ones will fit.

Actually I have both but I’m going to use the m8000 on this run...
