Amen. I've spent many many times what I paid for Mah Deuce, turning it into what it is, and will become. The price we pay for these vehicles does not reflect their real value. Not trying to tell anyone else how they should spend their money, but I don't have any qualms about dumping it into mine.

You think? I've seen some pretty gnarly pics of things that have been damaged by broken winch cables...

Yeah, I've been looking into that too (synthetic lines). The weight savings could be substantial (hundreds of pounds).

Thanks for the link, and the info. That's pretty much what I was imagining. Cool to see how you put it all together though. Can't see how there would be enough room for the cable to spool onto the winch properly if it were mid-mounted parallel to the framerails, outside the frame. But...

Running the winch from inside the cab seems like the sketchiest part of the whole deal, regardless of what kind of winch it is. I don't want to be anywhere in the path of a broken winch cable whipping back towards the truck.

What about mounting the stock winch behind the rear axle, and snaking the cable forward to the front bumper within a tube, probably running down the driver's side? mid-mounted winches work? Talking about the cables are routed so they can pull from the front or rear. Doubled back on themselves so...
