    You got a picture? I've got 2 of these winches at my shop, both had about 12" of battery cable still attached and don't recall any donuts, lol. It's possible they where tampered with but they came directly off of MRAP's.

    Thanks. Eventually I'm going to make a set of jin poles so I can lift and move heavy stuff. This truck is so tall and the bed doesn't have much room with the winch poking through, I just don't see the need to put anything in the bed.

    I built the column, it's just a piece of 1 3/4" tubing with the common 3/4" steering shaft material as the actual steering shaft, bushings where used to keep the shaft centered and spinning smooth. Thanks for the compliments, it's been a long build for sure.
