Hidden Winch Bumper System

[10 MPG]

Frank,
Can I ask where you got a set of rims for $100? Thanks. I might do the same with my pewter 2003.

Very nice! Can a roller fairlead be used or does it stick out to far?

I made this mount for my Front Licnse plate to snap on a roller fairlead:

Front View, Base piece is 22ga Steel, Mag light clips installed with SS 10-32x1/2" Button Heads, Marson 1/4-20 Threaedserts installed for the plate

Back side showing the clips, SS 10-32 Nylocks




Side view Installed


Keep in mind, my setup is much higher up than the hidden system Drty's Company designed. But the concept could be easily modified for a Hawse setup. I have seen a very cool one that hinges as well

If you like this style of hidden winches, there is one that will fit a WARN winch if you already have one:

Personally I think Mile Markers are 100x's better, especially the hydraulics...

Very nice. One of the better designs I've seen.

How do you work on it, if you get a cable bind?

Sorry guys. I'll get some pricing for you as soon as we get some details nailed down with MileMarker. The winch we're using needs a slight modification for us to use. A slight rotation of the casing & a slightly different clutch handle. We also need to discuss whether or not we will be able to sell to the public while we're waiting for AMGeneral to make a decision. I'm might be able to do it just for the forum members.
On a side note, we've also got another bumper that we're working on. I'll post pics after it's been to the powdercoater and installed for pics.

Next up: rockbar extensions and roof rack.

Dedo, I had them done. They were done with a BK-05. The next set is getting shot with a BK-08 because it's a more durable coating and it's more of a matte finish. 05 is great, too, but more of a semi-gloss finish.

Drtyfn, that is very professionally done, the best I've seen.
What is it? what do you do with it? I can see some logic if you can push a button, it shoots out and attaches itself to the semi in front, then you just glide your way to Los Angeles, that will be the best energy saving contraption since sex.
