Got my winch today and figured I can install it even though I have plans to powder coat my bumper in the near future.
Test fitting the winch and it fits like a glove! Well sort of... The hieght of the handle does not allow it to fully engage so I had to grind off some the handle. I used a dremel and a sanding wheel and it looks really good though!
Now we are tired so this is were we stopped the cables need to be extended unfortunately.... a job for tomorrow...

I just got off the phone and they are mailing me a new clutch lever and endcap to swap in. I must say even though i was grumpy i was very pleased with their customer support. Plus found out there is a lifetime warranty on all mechanical components

My issue is I can't disengage my clutch most of the time. Course the winch is like 10 years old...
Looking good MTD!

Going to have to have Ryan set me up with the full skids sometime in the near future and hopefully test them out in the near future. You need to reply to my PM about the South Dakota trip.

Don't get the 8k smitty bilt for your 4x bumper it doesn't fit because of the handle... You need to grind off about half of it to get it to go. It is because it has the handle on the side sticking straight up.. If it is on the top it fits fine i hear.
Ryan's skid plates on the other hand fit like a glove. I didn't see your pm about the dakotas trip I don't think but Ryan and I have been talking about it. I just need to see where I am at money wise lol. Im gonna be going to some more local events and many other misc camping trips. I would like to get out there though and have a real reason to use my RTT.  It should be here next week sometime.
