Started my winch mount....

had to add few pieces to my front bumper to fit a winch....it should be here tues. or wed. and i'll finish it...

its bolted with 4 factory bumper bolts and welded to the frame at 8 different points.... it "should" hold.....

added the rear bar and the 3 in the center..... also made two small pieces that connects the rear bar to the frame next the the outter bars....



it'll all be tied together with a 1/4" plate welded all around ..... i'll mount the center tube directly under the winch...the bolts will be on either side... i'll cut a slot in the plate and weld the plate to the center tube....

i'll add a fairlead mount also...

Is that a atlas winch?

Bumper looks killer. More pic of your rig are needed.

yup... its an atlas... I got the 9500 for 349... should have gotten the 12K for 449, but I didnt see it... has all the same exact specs as a T-max... I've heard its a rebadged T-max...

I can only take credit for the winch mount... the bumpers were done by svande.... this is his old rig....

here's more pics...











she HAS seen some trails...

Man i got the 6000lb atlas when i was on 33s and now am looking at the 12000lb becasue it is pretty sweet and is only 450 new....

They are also a good company to work with. My electronic locked up and messed up the electric motor and they sent me a new motor and all new electronics...
