    Winch mounting plates

    Also if you need anything (non 3D ) cut out of plate let me know. If we can render it, I can cut it :)

    Winch mounting plates

    Well we don't have a factory mounting option for the Warn Severe Duty 18 except for the BAE MRAP Bracket that mounts on a Caiman or the RG33 Bumper mount. I have them. Many Deuce owners love them. Quick and easy. The 925 conversion is designed for the Hydraulic winch and we are working out...

    MEP-802A CR1 Diode Replacement Questions

    I love them. I use them anywhere I can now. Beats the heck out of carrying 2 nut drivers or wrenches around. Now I just keep my handy Klenk Four-in-one POCKET SOCKET with me and I can remove just about any hex bolt on a genset. If you don't have one get one you will find it quite handy!

    It looks like it in the picture but this is a very big winch. See my comments on the next page.

    Winch mounting plates

    I am making some rear plates. They are 33" to fit inside or 33.75 will fit under the frame rail. The difference in front and back were we sandwich another frame rail over the front existing rail instead of butt joining it. You just slide the winch on the plate inside the frame between the bed...

    Winch mounting plates

    Hi Grendel and TwistedOaks, Not enough room to fully tuck the winch between the radiator and bumper! The hood pivot bracket is directly in the way. It is mounted center of the frame. We may be able to use a few inches of space there which would mean some cutting and welding for the winch...

    I wish you guys were nearby. I fix generators for folks that buy from GL at Warner Robins, Benning, Bragg, and Jackson. They just send them to me and I send them to the buyer onces they are runners. I use high strength aluminum rivnuts that I get from a nascar parts supplier in Charlotte NC...

    Winch mounting plates

    You cannot access the spool control. You can power in an out. I will measure mine to see if there is really enough room. The radiator and hood mounts are overhead. The hood retaining arm catch will need to be relocated and the arm shortened since the fairlead will be located in it's current...

    Winch mounting plates

    Yes I mount the rear winch either up or down depending on how much room you have between the frame and bed of the truck. I can use the same one for both. I am out of 3/4 but I have a 4x10 piece of 5/8. I think it is really good enough. If you want I can weld a piece of 1" angle down the...

    Winch mounting plates

    I can take one. Primarily we use 6 5/8" structural bolts (better than grade eight that bolt the plate to the frame rail ( 3 on each side). The hole closest to the bumper matches the gusset hole and the others are spaced to match the existing gusset. Eight holes are cut to mount the winch feed...

    MEP-802A CR1 Diode Replacement Questions

    I had an 803 do this and it had developed a short circuit where a cable had rubbed the diagonal brace in the rear section of the control panel. I always remove the lid now and put a piece of slit rubber hose or door protection molding down the edge of the bracket. Check it out in your unit...

    Winch mounting plates

    I am getting up orders so I can laser cut mounting plates for the warn series 18 winches. If you need a custom size winch plate made let me know and I can draw it up and make it. I will post prices based on size and location used in a classified add later. I will also put the prices on my...

    MRAP Rear Steps Installed on an M939 Truck

    I will send you a picture. They replace the entire bumper / rear cross member section and have the pintle holes to remount the hitch. I am going to put one on the rear of my 5 ton. I will take a pic of the adapter. Since all of this stuff is so heavy you may want to use some kind of assist...

    Battery terminal covers

    Take a piece of sheet rubber or non conductive silicon that is big enough to cover the top of the battery + 4 inches and cut two holes for the battery posts and fold it over the connectors once installed. I sometimes use the rubber terminal covers + this. You can also use the plastic battery...

    MRAP Rear Steps Installed on an M939 Truck

    I have a few of them lying around the warehouse too. I have the frame / tow eye plate for the rear of that MRAP that the steps attach to. I may have to add an additional step since I am running 16x20 tires. The tailgate would need to be removed too! It would be cool if you could make a...

    Tactical generator environmental modifications

    Just a note, I have since made a better hood that incorporates the exhaust and air exit. We designed and fabricated a filter unit that goes under the unit (covers the battery and drain holes). It stops ants! I will add some pictures of it tomorrow. I will be selling them if anyone is...

    Best way to do a overall paint job ?
