Hey plott hound,
I think this winch mount would be perfect in my 82 6x6. Could I "borrow" your idea ?
BTW, great job on the rebuild ! I will post some pics of my ride soon !!

heres a little more progress.after priceing a new windshield i decided to build my own.

I'm so jealous.....Mine is under a tarp right now. I swear on my mother's grave it will get done though...

[plott hound]

finally got the back rest bracket made and installed.fits the small of my back real nice.

heres a big reason for an enjoyable ride.10" of (my butt says thanks) foam in my new seat.

Now THAT is how you make a comfortable seat.

I just came in from a ride around the bush here, by the time I got back in the shop I had about a foot of snow piled up on the hood and winch. Was wishin I had a cover for my winch like yours. Packed snow and ice in the winch is such a pain half way through a ride when you need to spool out.

let me tell ya something,i just took it up through the bush for a ride.2 miles return trip,compared to my honda rincon its a dog.but the fun factor is a 9/10.i cant wait to actually drive it for a day whether its out on the lake or into the hunt camp.the idea of not having to pull a sleigh or a trailer makes me very happy.

You did a very excellent rebuild plott hound. You will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

[Mike]

The tracks look good on there. Looks like you at least got a little play time around the yard with it.

Are the hydraulic calipers an upgrade ? Mine still has the mechanical style.

as far as i know they are factory paquette.
