    Quick and Easy Winch Mount

    I'd like to see some pics of your setup. BTW, the blazer has #1 to a bus behind the front seats for the radio equipment. I did a test fit and the tube lines up, but the pintle hitch is in the way. I'm going to see if it'll fit if I unbolt the top half of the pintle off.
