Mount the winch to the front rack with bungee cords. Should hold well

A couple of the large cable ties and some duct tape will look more professional!

I think the bungee/duct tape and cable ties would be good.........

I bought mine two years ago for 59.00 at northern tool and the plate I got was a universal and it cost me 90.00. Its amazing that the plate cost more than the winch. I though it was some thing special until it came in the mail. hell I could have made it for ten bucks. Oh well thats how it goes sometime.

No hellbilly dont have a hitch it has a ball and a pull behind setup ( the little hole for a mini dumper).. and its funny cause the plate totally cost more then a winch.. lol

So i went to lowes and bought some flatstock. I was going to use 1/4 inch but i could not cut that with my cut off wheel. So i got two pieces of 1/8th and sistered them together. It was easier to make two and sister them together.. Easier to cut.

Im going unscrew it and bring it back to pinellas when i go there to work next week and let gargoyl make it out of 1/4 inch flatstock like the one on the pic.. right now its bout 5/16 inch thick.

Took me all day but i got it all mounted up but not wired yet.. ill do that tomorrow. Been having pains in my abdomen again and been taking it easy.
