Started my winch mount....

[sureshot40sw]

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.

 

[sureshot40sw]

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...

Great write up, with great pics! thanx for the tips

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...
