There's been this winch ling around work for a couple of years now, so I talk the boss into giving it to me and someone threw out a brush guard. I don't know what vehicle it goes to, and the winch is a Dayton 6000lb single line 12000lb double line. I don't know about the qualityof Dayton,there tools are pretty good. I got out the welder and made a mounting bracket. I still need to wire it up , I'll do that this wekend.

 

whats it mounted to? i'd love pics

 

free is always good!!! nice rigs..

 

I'll never tell!!!! I so pretty stoked about the price myself.

 

I'll get some closer pics of the bracket.

 

how sturdy is it to winch from?

 

dam where do you work that looks brand new. and for free thats frickin amazing. I scored a 750 dollar (brand new) arb winch bumper from the body shop i work at. It was involved in a accident and wasnt even dented except where the blinker goes. no way I was gonna let that go to the scrap yard.

 

Its mounted with 6 bolts to the frame.

 

to the crossmember?

 

Yes and to where the tow hooks bolt to the bottom side of the frame.

 

I hope it's not a stock brush gards. those things are weak.

 

No. The brush Guard isn't a structural part of the Winch Plate, its just bolted to the the bracket thru the tow hooks. The Bracket is made of 1/4" angle iron, welded into a box.

 

 

here's a pic of the driver side mounting points, the passeger side is the same.

 

That'll do! nice work

 

Lookin good. I think I saw you driving up ulatis the other day in your 4runner.
