This pic tires are 235/70/16

 

Oh man. Reminds me of mine when I first got it! Enjoy the journey! If your like me it will never end. Good work so far too!

 

had some end plates bent up for my winch bracket, this is how it looks fabbed up

if I were using a non roller fairleed the height would be perfect for the stock bumper but since i am using the roller i need to drop it 1 " from what the pick shows

also I have to remake the winch plate since i measured center on the plate and cut it down only to find the winch is not symetrical and it is to close to the pass side bracket to get the bumper bolts through

all hardware is 1/2" grade 8, the bumper mount holes in the frame are 1/2" I just had to run a bit through to clean them but had to ream the holes in the bumper and brushguard

this is the harbor freight 12,000 lb winch, i got it 2 weeks ago at a store opening for $240 i have an older version of the same winch and have had it for almost 10 years and still works great

the bracket pictured will probly be 4 sale, for someone wanting to do the same and keep the stock bumper and pushbar but with a narrower winch this would be perfect

I just pushed up a little on the trans cooler line and it clears no problem

I did the endplates as Z so the top sits on the frame rail instead of the bumper bolts holding all that weight when I final assemble it the winch assembly will go on first as pictured then bumper with bolts part way through, then brushguard and push bolts rest of the way through and add nuts

measurements on pictured side plates are 3" lip top and bottom 6" drop and 6 3/4" wide made from 1/4" plate

new ones will be 7 1/4" drop

 

 

 

Very nice

 

Where is the control box for the winch?

 

since I am dropping it lower then pictured I may mount on top or somewhere under the hood, not sure yet, I just wanted this mounted before the 2" med terra lift shows up so I have some weight on the front

if i mount it under the hood there is always the wireless remote option

 

My contactor pack(replaced the usual 4 pack of solenoids) is under the hood. I remotely mounted the controller socket in the grill. You can see it in the pic above the driver side Hella. I've always wanted to wire it into the cab and use the volume up/down buttons for winch in/out.
