My winch had a bow motor 2 fitted to make it faster and more torquey !! And loads of other little bits too, hopefully get it wired up this week one night.

So much to do and no time to do it !!

Yeh gwyn troff, troff is seem welded to the bumper top bottom and sides and plug welded through 8 holes 40mm diameter, then the bumper is welded to the chassis underneath to the tube and just in front of the steering box. And it's bolted with 10 m10 bolts, throughout the top, and through the standard bumper mounts. I don't think that will move, would stall the winch before that let go.

Yeh 8274 are pretty awesome, I have used them before winching mine out with mates trucks. Sould pull my sj along alrite.

Still more to do before I can play this weekend. Need to get cracking !! This is never ending !!!
