Turbone Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Got it in, just needs to be wired up and tightened down. There was a cross piece that was welded above that I had to remove so the winch would sit in the tray. Now that its in, I can weld it back in.

Phizinza Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 So, this is in case you need to pull out a stuck Hummer? Wouldn't work... subies too light. My brothers winch can pull his EA81 wagon up hill with a trailer with all four wheels locked up.. It was quite a sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry DeMoss Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Truely looks like a military edition hatch!Special forces of course! Good job on that thing.I love the camo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Wow that looks awsome rob! Well, the way i look at it, is 6k pound winchs are perfect for us subarus, they pull us out easy, and dont draw a horrible amount of amps, compared to the bigger winches.. and if it comes down to it, you can always get a block and double your line so it pulls twice as much:grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 A snatch block should be my next aquisition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 The only thing left to do is weld in the cross piece thats above the winch. Everything works too, considering its been sitting for years:headbang: And no, I dont care if half of my high beam is blocked. I have plenty of other lights.

Turbone Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Actually, theres one more thing I need to do to make it "Complete". If I get a couple of hours of dry weather I can do it. I'll post pics here when its done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post pics here when its done. Well technically, its only covering halve of one light, which means 1/4 of you high beam It looks great with that cross peice in there! Looks like your hatch will be able to get itself unstuck for quite a while.. But i can't wait to see the next thing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qman Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Wouldn't work... subies too light. My brothers winch can pull his EA81 wagon up hill with a trailer with all four wheels locked up.. It was quite a sight. You'd be surprised. I used my little 4.8K winch to flip over a full sized Chev twice on the same trail. Also righted a couple of 'yota's on another trail. Tie it down to secure it if neccessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie it down to secure it if neccessary. from what i've seen in the past from rigs winching other rigs is they will usually anchor the winching rig to something solid if available and needed. if you anchor it and use a snatch block or 2 you should be able to pull almost anything out. please do correct me if i'm wrong, it will just make me more informed especially if you know what you are talking about, like from experience. i do value infromation from people that have been doing this for awhile, thats how we learn. right?

Turbone Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Correct. I welcome the chance now to try and pull something that outweighs my rig by 1K lbs or more. I have a receiver hitch in my rear bumper, so I have a decent hardpoint to anchor to. I will be making sure my bumpers are securely attached to the frame now:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
