Hi All,

I'm after ideas for a rear mounted winch in the cruiser, want to put it under the floor behind the rear most chassis rail, ideas and photos welcome....

I have most of the bits, 00 Gauge cable, Winch etc, now need to do the fab.

Thanks,

Bill

You can chop out the rear x member and fabricate a rear bar which incorporates the x member, rear bar and winch mounts. Theres heaps of room without the x member ;)

I have been thinking about that, if all goes well with the kids will get the truck on the hoist tonight and do some measuring :-)
