    Mounting Warn Severe duty 18 winch

    Mine is not the most elegant but it’s done. Which is a plus for me since the punch list for this build is huge. Also it is SOLID. When I loaded the winch it didn’t even flex. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mounting Warn Severe duty 18 winch

    Right now no where. Not sure what I am going to do with them yet. As the cab tilts there is about 3/16" between the mask and the corner of the winch box. 100% no. I had to get special "U" shackles to fit. The winch is stuffed in the box and the box is very close to the lugs. I don't intend...

    Mounting Warn Severe duty 18 winch

    Got the box welded in and the winch bolted up. Tested it yesterday, it pulls the truck up hill no problem. Now I just need to pull the winch out to run the wiring and make the cover.

    Mounting Warn Severe duty 18 winch

    I’ll post the drawings when it’s done. I could even fab them up if people are interested. But I want to abuse my set up first and make sure it’s robust enough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mounting Warn Severe duty 18 winch

    Because I didn’t find much when I searched for info. Got a warm 18k severe duty winch for a good price off eBay. Take off from an MRAP. Planning on 100% bolting the bumper to the winch box and welding the winch box to the torsion tube. That way the bumper can be removed if it gets damaged...
