I wish I could wind my winch up that nicely. It looks like a storks nest after an all night orgy.

The insides of your front tires are showing air under them.
 
the cables do look like that until you use them a few times.looks better than your wreck of a b2 anyway.well you were bright enough to notice there is no motor in the truck,thanks for the compliments:rolleyes:
 
It looks pretty good, any pics of the backside of the front bumper. I'm wodering how much of a PITA it is to put your pin thru for the winch mount.
 
so far only blurry ones. but its not too bad.the pin goes through about 4 inches back from the face of the bumper.plenty of room to get the pin in and out,you just need to feel around a little for the hole.
 
dude that is a really nice job!!! how much do you have into the front bumper?
 
probably 250$ in steel for front,rear,and cradle.i cut out cardboard templates first and duct taped them together to get the look and fit i wanted,then cut out the steel and:icon_welder:.it was a fun project,but i'm not done with the rear.it will undergo some major surgery some time in the future.
 
That's pretty close to what I want to do, and pretty nice looking. I want / need D rings front and rear and would like a receiver so I can buy one winch and remove it when I don't need it (99% of the time).
 
its not quite what i envisioned ,but close enough for me to be happy with it.
