I'll post pics when i get it installed behind my valance/bumper.

 

sweet deal! where did you get it from? i cant wait to see how it works!

 

i got it from the good ol' winch depot.

i just cant wait to get it installed behind the bumper/valance so as to look factory.

 

cool make shure to get some pics! and make shure to give it a good test to lol. ive been wanting one of these. id like to see how it works for you!

 

Well I'll use my 91 F250 lariet for a test vehicle. Won't be to hard to get it stuck.

 

I think I suggested that one. Did I win a trip to Belize???

Let me know how it works.

 

When you install it behind ur bumper post how u did it i wanna do the same.
thanks skylar

 

i will do a write up on installing it behind my bumper, no worries

 

That would be wicked, I don't really want a winch sticking out and visible, I'd rather have everything rather subtle on my truck. You know tell everyone its stock and have them think it's all driver's skill.

 

lol, that's why im doing it, i'll make sure to show pics of my custom mount, and how it all will fit together. i'm aiming so that i keep the factory look and in the front of the mount i will make it square so i can hide the winch with my licence plate! and with a flat black coat, it wont show.
But it'll be at least 2 weeks before they deliver to Belize and i make my custom mount, so while it is being made i will be bumperless. then when the bumper is on, not only will it be theft proof but it will look so factory you wont know it is there! Keep a sharp eye out for the next 3 weeks for my write-up and install!

 

nice! that's the same one i'm going to be buying later this summer. Let us know how you like it.

 

Sleeper rigs are the coolest.

 

Sounds just like what I want. I wasn't sure there was enough room for this to be possible. Can't wait to see it.

I'm surprised no one has done it already. i first wanted to do it when i saw the FJC concept in 03. it has a winch with search light built into the bumper. and i said that no matter what vehicle i get, i will do that. Sounds like i better make a flawless mount and write-up!

 

Just thought i would update you all on my winch's where abouts. It is still in LA and will be shipped down here at the end of this month so keep a sharp eye open for an install in early June!

 

Any plans to upgrade the fiber core rope? I almost bought one but didnt just for that reason.....

 

I bought the XRC8 and swapped the steel cable out for a synthetic one. It seems like a bit of a waste of synthetic rope, but the weight savings, durability and the fact that I can swap it out to another winch if I ever need to made it worthwhile. they are a really nice little winch for the price.

 

I've been eyeing this one.

 

The Free shipping offer is even for Central America??? WOW, they are gonna eat it on that one, but awesome!!

Looking forward to the install.

OT: but curious if you are still looking for a Landcruiser to bring down there?

 

i thought the new one's came w/5.5hp series wound motors
