Interesting, with a through bolt like that I would be concerned that a real hard pull might distort or crush the frame rail a bit (stranger things have happened) ;-)

 

I wish I knew how to fabricate stuff like this. And I wish I had a winch lol

 

Good Looking setup! My concern is also around the body of the truck though. For instance, if you were in a ditch and had to pull yourself up and out, the rubbing of the cable could really screw your front end body work.

Any thoughts on adding a tub to the current setup to limit the damage it could do to the body? - Something that the cable could rub against and keep it away from the body.

 

I Kinda Figured that for a good spot for a winch every time I've been under my truck just havnt gotten the motivation to make one fit until now

 

I know, old thread, proof I use search!

I am planning a winch mount similar to this, and I get the overall mounting point design, but I would like to see more of the plate holding the fairlead on. Do you have any other pictures? Also, after all these years, hows it holding up?

Thanks!
