Hey guys. Anyone have pictures they can share with me of the winch they have on their CUCV?

Bambi season is around the corner and I have a new 10,000 LBS winch I want to mount or build a mount for the hitch.

Yes, 10,000 is a bit much BUT hehe it was free, traded it for an extra 4 core radiator I had.

Also any other cool camping mods you may have would be nice.

Thanks!

I've got a Mile Marker 12k hydraulic on my 08. I am VERY impressed with it. My previous trucks used the old Ramsey worm gear electrics and it was good for what it was. But after being Hotel 8 wrecker qualified I have been in love with hydraulic/pto winches. Its kinda scary because unlike with an electric it wont bog down it just keeps pulling. I've got a feeling it will seriously break something long before it quits pulling. Check my started threads and I have all my mounting pics in it.

Hey thanks.

PTO sounds great, I would love to have the original CUCV setup but **** they are hard to find. (for somewhat of a decent price)

Cucvnut: thanks for the link. This is actually exactly what I had in mind but I wasnt sure how to set it up. Thank you.

My winch isn't run by a PTO its run by the power steering pump. I guess I should have worded my post a little better. Look for my thread " My M1008 Milemarker Winch Bumper " and it will show you pics of how I mounted mine.
