video of rolling cable back in, i ended up ordering a roll of new cable. this cable wasnt horrible but i plan on swapping it to the front winch and getting new cable for the rear winch which will be the most used one.
Finally He-man'd the boom jacks up onto the boom then to body, really makes a difference driving around yard even. you don't have a 20ft steel beam lurching back and forth as you drive. did have to break the rust free on the pivots on the boom so they rotate nicely now. I do still need to free...
mine does come off the transfer case, case goes into neutral. i am hoping the shift kit will help select speed better my issue now is sometimes the governor starts kicking it up gears or down gears mid use, so i usually just leave it on low side keeps rpm/speed jumps control-able. I doubt ill...

I do believe i might have a chipped tooth in boom pivot as dead center she's got a little "slop" and almost skips before catching and then pivoting like normal. i know TM states can flip that main gear 180* to get fresh teeth..assuming aint been done before haha
That's what i figured, But seeing as i found another with same truck had to ask..figure since uncle has a machine shop if had to make a sleeve to make sure a bearing would fit should'nt be too hard. ill keep too tall mike in mind in case. nothing seized on mine yet was well greased luckily but I...
