American Hummer Winch setup

[tower]

Thanks, Doc!

I appreciate your sharing your experience with me. The fit on everything is okay for now, and was okay when I first installed it. It just doesn't seem to stay that way on the latches.

The grinding between the arm and base isn't too bad since I greased it, but it was bad enough to chew up the chrome finish. The problem is that the pivot sleeve on the arm isn't perfectly square. I tried adjusting the cantilever the minimum (1/2 turn) in either direction, but that just changed the location of the scrape from one side to the other. It's fine to use zerk fittings and a bearing race, but then to have it welded so badly that it scrapes? Anyway.

I get an annoying squeak when the rear end drops into a divot, whenever I start an ascent. I don't know if this is a bad LR shock or my tire rack. I will have my dealer check it when I next change oil.

I am looking at having a welder put together a pipe and flange so that I can move the license plate up to the center of the spare (as done on the SUT). If you are interested, I will keep you posted.
