While looking at something else unrelated, I came across a discussion on here a while back regarding a type of side/mid mount winch installation. Unfortunately I didn't bookmark it and cannot now seem to find it again.
Basically the cable started at the winch ran along the frame to a fairlead at the front or rear, looped over to another fairlead on the other side/frame rail of the vehicle. It then ran the length of the vehicle, thru another fairlead at the far end and back across to the winch side frame rail of the vehicle. This setup looked interesting as it allowed you to pull front or rear(and some other ways) without having to re-rig the cable thru the frame to the winch.
This configuration had a name and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. Anyone familiar with this setup or can point me to the thread?
Thanks!
