soon as I work out the new digi camera I will post some pics of my new barwork. Not designed for a winch in particular but could give you some ideas.

sweet thanks for help, its coming along but need to know how strong shit has to be...

suprasurf, looks like you have winch mounted???
i was jst gona bolt to the 4 holes on the underside of chassis and also run it up front to the holes where bumper attached.
have you done this way or does it need more ???
