I think there's someone here that is considering doing this, don't remember who though. I'd rather have two different winches, but both easily removeable in case either one breaks.

Nice clean install Martin!

You suck :P lol I can't say anything, I'm the same way. I'm usually more focused on completing the project than I am about taking pictures during the process.

I wanna see pics too! What's that they say?? Pics or it didn't happen?! Lol

Just for some info, you can find the parts numbers in TM 9-2320-272-24P-2 Fig 455-459. That's the for the fiddly bits for the M939A2 in general, they do have other figures for more specific builds like the wrecker and dump. Fig 462 to 470 covers the larger assembly pieces, like pump, winch, and...

I plan on making or getting a good ground anchor for those times when I don't have anything tie off to.

Unless I'm winching out some poor sap in his puny 4x4 Ranger I really don't see much of any instances where I would be using only the outermost layer of winch line. I will almost always use at least double pulley snatch blocks to reduce the load on the line and the winch, which when setup will...

Heat from the elec ones is also another factor to consider. Granted I've never actually had to use the winches when I was in the Army but I doubt the hyd ones will build as much heat in the drum as the elec ones do. Driving and winching is a considerable bonus that I had actually forgotten about.

I would love to have a hyd one, but with all the effort and parts to make it work I think I'll just go with ProWinch's 24V ones instead. Besides that, I really don't want another box cluttering up my cab. When I had my brother and sister in the truck driving around seeing family when she visited...

FWIW, I'm considering a 20k 24V electric winch just to make my life easier. http://prowinch.com/buscar.php?from=1&tipoz=88
