We did a couple more upgrades the other day. We have been having constant fuel issues so we did an in tank pump, hopefully this helps solve our issues.

I've owned 5 offroad truck and never had a winch, thought it was time. When we are in So Cal we do a lot of Go Fast offroading. But when we are out on the road in other states we do more 4x4, just good insurance to have a winch. The price was right and these are pretty decent quality.

We also added tow points on the front. It was fun making something work with the funky frame section.
I was actually quite surprised we got the winch to be so "hidden"

Here is the final result. Flipping the winch and relocating the control box really saved a lot of space.

Not really, if we are on that tough of a trail well have a spotter. Might add a skid down the road.

Super clean. Does the fairlead bolt just the bumper or does it have support behind it.
Dude the HF Badland winch is pretty damn nice!

Super rad and clean.
Honestly I never thought about mounting a winch upside down. Just never occurred to me that it was something you could do.

The fairlead is just bolted through the bumper, but it's only a couple inches from the winch/winch plate.

Me neither, that's why @the_fablab_ gets the big bucks.

So clean. I need to build a new bumper that can house a winch some day

Not cheap when I want to use the warn 9.0rc winch lol. Need small and light and that seems the best way to go. Just expensive

It seems to have stopped/slowed down quite a bit. It's been plated and all new body mounts.

True, have you looked at the zeak 9k? It was reviewed by project farm. He liked it a lot.

you could find yourself an old m8000. they are small workhorses. i run it in the front of my rig and space is a premium. solenoid box can be relocated where ever as well.

Here's a full video of the winch install, I tried to film as much as possible while taking care of the little one. @the_fablab_ did a great job.

Did you mean for the end of the video to cut off like that?
