How Have you Mounted Your Winch ?
Hi All, just after some thoughts on mounting winches, feel free to post some photos and suggestions of winch set ups and placements you have.
This is how I have set mine up to be mounted so it can go on either the front or rear tow hitch receiver. I have not hard wired it so it can be put on only when I am out bush or beach Aussie Workhorse |

Re: How Have you Mounted Your Winch ?
Aussie, that's about what I was planning. At least the hook it to a receiver so it can be used front or back.
My only concern was where does it go when not in use. On my workhorse under the bed there is a spot behind the back axle and in front of the rear frame. It appears to me there is space for some sort of box 18 inches wide by about 10 inches deep. Not sure how tall it will be. The frame could support the back of the box, and supports could go down from the tube framework that the bed sits on to support the front of the box. I thought a solid box would be best to keep the mud out. And if it has a top you'd want the lid to come off rather then hinge, since there would be little space for it to open by hinge. Not sure if this is practical, just early plans up to this point. |

Nice, I like a winch, that you can mount in the front, or mount in the rear

Re: How Have you Mounted Your Winch ?
I was kind of thinking a toolbox mounted in the dump bed too. But when I found all that unused space under the bed, I thought that might work out better. But as I said that's just in the planning stage, and we all know, best laid plans often go astray.
At least I was the first one that managed to work the word laid into their response. |

Re: How Have you Mounted Your Winch ?
Aussie, just an idea for your electrical connections: These are HD three pin push in connectors for a boat trolling motor. I bought two pair (they are cheap!), used the two females in the front and rear bumper and wired the one male to the winch. The females have covers to keep them clean.
