i notice how most of you guys have winches on your max's. How does the winch mount to the machine?? I notice that its all plastic where your winches mount up?

yes it just bolts through the plastic but there is a steel mount that the winch goes on first , then the steel mount and winch are bolted together through the body, i've never cracked or torn the body so far, so it is deff. strong plastic , and ive pulled out a few BIG machines with itHe who has not cruised the back country in a 6x6 , has not lived life to it's fullest

wow. thats pretty interested haha. I figured there would be some type of metal bracket that would hold it on. Thanks robinhood but you seem to have quite a bit of knowledge on these machines...This is off topic but i dont wanna get anyone upset and start a new thread. I have the max ii. Its got 22x11x8's on it. What do you guys recommend for tires. I need something for deep mud and a little river. I dont want to upgrade the rims any bigger or anything but would i be able to make the tire upgrade be like 22x12x8 or anything? THANKS!Comment

Rawhide 22's are the biggest tires offered on the max II ,any bigger and they rub the tub
as far as knowledge of the max ,weeeell, not compared to some of these guys ;

alrite well i dont even need to go bigger in that case. I was looking at the ITP Mudlite's. What do you think? Im not a big fan of the rawhidesComment

The Mudlites will not give you any water propulsion at all.Comment

Winch
I installed my " FACTORY" winch plate. It cracked my max IV allong the top edge of the metal winch mount. I cant use it now...Comment

Works very well. There is a peice of angle iron behind the tub.Comment

on both my attex, and max the winches are mounted on an angle iron body band which is bolted through the body seam. at Busco we pulled a little of everything with them (even the big argos) with no issues. the band is somewhat tedious to make, but it provides a great mounting point for the winch, roll cage, cargo rack etc...

I bought my mount from Richard's Relics. It is an angle mount on the outside and a huge steel plate that mounds on the inside behind the fuel tank (on a IV). I rounded over the edges with a grinder before I mounted it to prevent it cutting into the body.Comment
