Winch install

[ZR2xBIZON]

All I gotta say is the install destructions for the recomended winch suck gluteus maximus.

But you know what they say. If you're half way in you might as well enjoy it.

Wowie wow wow bro! Good luck with this endeavor, I assume you will disassemble/reassemble 10% of the vehicle to get it done, I hope you don't run into any 'Number 5 is Alive' issues!

You would think a factory winch ready bumper with the factory recommended winch would be a simple install, lol.

I dont know what I'm doing.
If I still can't figure it out by MacNCheese time tomorrow, I'm driving it down a dark alley and reporting it stolen.

Nope---the Tremor was a PITA as well and it was the one Ford sold.

It does look great! where did you get the winch cover?

Thanks! It's the stock cover. Just drilled a hole where the spool release goes

Is it a stock cover from COMEUP?

 

[ZR2xBIZON]

The front plate comes with the kit.

Sounds like a lot of fun, guess I better try to place an order again since they were out of stock last time.

The only thing I can say is that hook is hideous. I'm considering the DV8 pocket set up to replace it, or at least a Warn hook, that looks like something from Harbor Freight if you ask me.

 

[ZR2xBIZON]

@44sixpack it does look like buttcheeks. I've been looking at a few replacements too

Was able to use my winch today to recover a TRX that was stranded
