    LMTV's show me your WINCH

    Did it on my Chevy. Just got an M1083 and will be doing the same. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    LMTV's show me your WINCH

    This is EXACTLY what I did with my Chevy truck and camper. However I did run outlets to each location and also created the extension cord so that I could connect other 12V tools and appliances from each outlet. The other reason I created the hitches on front and back for the winches is that it...

    This is perfect. Exactly what I hoped for. Thanks for sharing. You mentioned a link to the rest of your build. It wasn't in your comments. Would love to see your ideas. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    These trucks are too big for an 18000 pound limit. Yeah you can use pulleys, etc. for mechanical advantage, but you want to have an adequate power plant to begin with. Sherpa is 25000 pounds and actually engineered to exceed that. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Correct me if I'm wrong but because it's PTO you can not put the truck in gear while the winch is engaged. If so, it is a huge drawback. Winches are meant to assist recovery of the truck. Not being able to put your truck in gear during recovery is a huge problem. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using...
