    How and where would you mount it ? I think the factory rollers on the lmfm will not let you down and handle just the cable being up against them not wraped around them pulling ! just my opinion

    You dont need any of that you just need a way to secure /capture the line like a big eyelet for the cable to run thru if you using a sidemount just look at the lm/fmtv winch trucks on here and use what they have to get the cable to the front or rear rollers at each end of the truck

    Yea most never really study the whole winching deal your only going to get that top poundage line pull till you have all the line off the drum but the last layer so you get all the line out and then see where you can reach with other blocks and lines and chokers to come meet the winch cable and...

    Your right it is the shnizzle on 4x4s and the less than 10k line up and i fall in the tribe of seeing heavy equipment winched out of mudhole/ponds and generally bad spots with huge Caterpillar winches on the backends of D-8s and D-9s and seeing the myth like suction of mud on heavy stuff and...

    Fellas we aint in 5000 lb jeeps ! the lightest duece to 5 ton trucks from 20 tp 30 k of pull if your on flat dry ground then add you being in mud or a hillside you just doubled your pull so were back to 40 to 50 k of line pull the synthetic rope would have to be as big as your wrist and i always...

    The next time you see the tread off of a recap on the side of the interstate stop and grab it and cut it in lengths that are more manageable and also lay flat

    The winch is useless without the rite acc / big snatch blocks lots of short cables to wrap around trees to anchor or change direction of pull to the side off of your airlift tubes ect atleast 2 =100 ft heavy cable rolled up they lay flat in your side boxs and dont take up much room stack stuff...

    Ultimately the winches are a crutch/false sence of never being stuck if you have one ! And this is just my opinion but i feel i have failed to operate offroad to have to be to the point of having to get out and hope all the moons are alligned and i have something to that i might hook to try to...

    The easyiest thing for a portabe winch is weld an islet/lunet under the tray the winch is bolted to and just hang the eye on the pinltle hitch and quick connect plug ! The winch can just hang down till theres tension on the cable and you could weld a chain/cable on each end of the winch to go to...

    Copy that ! It would have to be BAAAAAAAADDD before i even let it enter my mind to relocate this winch in the field . Also im not going to just drive off in a mudhole if i can go around it ! LEARNED THOSE LESSONS IN MY TEENS ! a chainsaw is much better to have with you to make detours if...
