Hidden winch mount
#12
I have the Hidden Winch mount that I bought from Meltdowndave installed now. I put a Warn M8000 on it I had laying around. The control box is mounted in the old jack location. I also hooked up a in cab control switch with a safety switch and LED.
The front only sags a 1/4 more now with the winch. I will probably get some 2" heavy duty lift springs soon. I already have OME shocks installed.
Has anyone had any problems with the mount moving while under high loads? I have not used it yet under any load. Just wondering. I have the bolts very tight. I was considering adding some brackets or turn buckles from the winch base then up to the frame.

I never had an issue with it on the times that I tested it, but never put it under a full load.
I'd imagine the weak link, if there is one, would be the bolts. Perhaps something more heavy duty would put your mind at ease?

Thanks again Dave, I am happy with the mount. I am going to add a bracket made from 3 inch angle iron to the frame. I have a few picture here, I will post more soon.
