Here's what I ended up doing. It's not perfect, but it seems to work. Just need to clean it up and paint it. The last pic was the test. Plowed that mount into the dirt getting stuck (notice the front tires never spun), then winched it out.
Also, Friends don't let Friends weld with flux core...
Thanks for the help guys. I like the looks of the hiden mounts, but trying to reach that clutch lever when your burried axle deep in the mud ????? No Thanks!
I was just informed I have the winning bid on an '86 M1009. I'm looking for ideas on mounting a winch (12000 lb.) and keeping the stock brush guard. Is there room behind the bumper? Maybe a hitch receiver and a multimount?
I don't even have the darn thing yet and I'm already pouring $$$ into...
Nice job. Did you fab that front bumper? I'd like to incorporate the factory brush guard into a winch mount. hoping to find somebody thats already done it.
