Just wondering if anyone has anything to say about this winch, i didn't see anything about it in the guide so figured I'd just ask.

I was going to try and mount it behind the front bumper, and make it so the line pulls through the slit in the front.

I can get it new for $275 total so I figured for the price/specs why not eh?

That is a pretty good winch.. A series wound motor winch will last longer than a permanent magnetic style due to the magnetics wearing out over a period of time. I would get a roller fairlead on it myself.

yea I was going to flatten out the front of the bumper were it curves in, reinforce it, then add one on the bumper.

thx
