do you prefer winches form the front or from the rear

[southdave]

Age old question, I have one, now what do I do with it???

mount is behind the front bumper all stealth like.

I will have the electric ready as soon as the motor shows up. Plan on the hydro up front and the electric on the back. You can close this thread now!

Install a front hitch as well as a rear hitch. Install the quick connects front and rear and then move the winch where needed. Simple enough.

Oh, wait, never mind. I thought you said 'wenches'.

Put a two inch reciever on the front and rear, mount the winch in a cradle and use the winch wherever you want. Get 35 feet of welding cable and quick conect ends and make a long extention cord. You can even chain the winch to a tree, trailer etc to use it remotly or mount it on other vehicles.

Most winching will be done from the rear but they look cooler on the front.

That's exactly how I have my samurai setup. It's awesome to be able to adapt to any situation.

I didn't mention that itwas hyd one. I thinking of the rear, just too cluttered up front and closer to tthe bussiness end of the truck..maybe the extra length of hose would eleviate the need for a cooler on the powersteering system?

Southdave, I installed a MileMarker 12k hyd winch last month after a 40ft long hard pull my fluid to the cooler was barley luke warm. I run Royal Purple in it and I'm sold on it. I think to overheat the fluid you would have to really abuse the system!

Great minds.....

seems every time I get stuck, the winch just pulls me farther into the mess I got stuck into. Every time I have been free'd, I was pulled out the way I came by someone else... I could benefit from a winch in the rear
