Re: Winch
Mounting the winch under the floor would be nice. What type of pulley did they use? Is it just a roller? I would think a pulley mounted close to the winch wouldn't allow the cable to go back and forth on the drum as it winds up.
As far as driving the car while winching. I pull my car onto the tailgate and then hook the winch up. I don't have a remote and because of the ATV winch I use it's just mounted to the D ring on the floor with a clevis. I just stay by the winch and pull it in, never had to steer it. I would like to permanently mount a winch along the wall and use a pulley on the D ring. I don't know how that would work out with a synthetic rope instead of a cable. |

Re: Winch
I have my winch on top of the floor, behind a lower door under the bench.
Only use it to load the car, if it is not drivable.

The first snatch block probably bolted to the frame member closest to the pivot point. The second could be bolted to a bracket at the head of the bed low and welded to the rails. A slot would need to be cut in the deck for the cable to come up, but not too big or long. As for the cable following the winch drum, there would be around 8 feet or more to pulley one so it should track OK. Here's a snatch block.
