I was just talking to my buddy that welds that I wanted to do a hidden winch behind the factory bumper. This is great to see that it shouldn't be too complicated.
I like it! I have a smittybilt on my truck. I don’t do much off road but it came in really handy pulling out a bunch of brush and briars out at the house today.
Great build. Working on an 89 restore with a few upgrades. Your recovery points are great. Any chance The Fab Lab might make up a few sets to sell your viewers?
Probably not, you have to remember our whole front frame section is off a Ford bronco with the ecordian style frame. Unless you are doing a 89 resto bronco!
Just found the page 2 days ago and have watched the whole build! Have you found any issues with the ttb? Or gripes about the ttb? (Other than your shocks valving adjustment)
Thanks for watching hopefully you enjoyed the videos. We have no complaints it's great in the high speed stuff. The front lifts a little more than a solid axels on steep climbs, I do think it's the best all around though.
You're running that winch backwards. When you flip it upside down the shifter/gearbox should be on the passenger side. The main issue of running it backwards is the brake won't function correctly. Most brakes function by engaging when the spool starts rotating backwards. Also, since you're full time backwards it will wear the brake down prematurely.
What are your thoughts? Could we have installed it differently?

It's not too bad! Should fit if you get creative.
Me and my dad are about to head out with the wagoneer to the dunes in mears MI for opening weekend maybe with a few bros
Awesome! We were out there two summers ago, fun area. Hopefully we will be going to the Oregon dunes in a couple months.

Great tool to have!

This is my plan exactly. Are you selling the tow points?
Thank you! Might be slightly different because we have the bronco frame, but you'll be able to make it work.

As far as reading has told us there should be zero issues with it mounted this way. Would you be able to provide a link or resources?
