need some ideas on mounting my winch
« on: Jun 26, 2009, 08:48:57 AM »
I'm looking at mounting my winch on my truck. I bought a 10,000lb smittybuilt would like to make it removable. Need some help on building a platform that is strong enough not to give. Thinking of bolting/welding it on the frame. The frame is a 82 the cab is a 93. Also when I build it I would like to raise it up where the grill use to be. Only have 3inch allpro buggy springs with 5.5 shackles on the front.

slip tube receiver mount
thinking about taking a old receiver hitch standing it up and welding it to the sides of the frame.
