    Putting a winch in the bed

    I just pull up over lip of the bed. Tires are not but 2 or 300 lbs. but I am thinking about a cherry picker arm in the back corner incase I ever have to load anything really heavy or odd shaped, but so far I just use it for loading and unloading spare tires.

    Putting a winch in the bed

    I mounted 2500lb RTV winch in my bed up front under window no braces or anything works great for loading my Spare 11.00 x 20 tires and the like. I'm to old for lifting things anymore.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Just to clarify the Inverter is wired directly to the 12v system battery not the fuse block it is a 2000 watt inverter so it draws a lot of amps when using power tools so it is wired in using battery cables not wire. if you look at pictures close you may be able to see the large cables used to...

    Stuck Winch Shear Pin and Gasket Issue

    Remove shaft from PTO 4 bolts should be 9/16 ths and on winch hub use crows foot. You don't need to disassemble U-joint hopefully but if you do then puller should work.

    tire options

    I went with the 11.00 x 20 Titan Hawk NDT military tires all around. Best upgrade ever. I gained about 5 mph to the top end. Because I had the 9.00 x 20's now my speedo is off by 5 mph. So 55 mph is actually 60 mph.
