I have an 8274 winch in good running order. Curious if anyone has successfully adapted one to the HMMWV. If so, I might consider the 24V motor/solenoid conversion and give it a go.

Reading the forum looks like 3/16” but what reach? I gather stainless structural rivets are preferred...? I do not want them to loosen again.
Also, PO Rhino-lined the outside of the doors so accessing that side of the...
