Winch cost

[tiger422]

Can someone tell me what it would cost to add a winch to my M35A2 and where I should look fo the parts or complete kit?

 

[CCATLETT1984]

look for the complete setup, even if its off a truck you dont want to have to search for stuff. The kits run ~1200 or so.

When Matt "green gem" up in live oak gets a truck with one on it in he get $1200 for a complete set up. He put stuff on ebay under green gem.

I wouldnt , doesnt that winch look cool , something a Cavalier could never be lol

I paid 1100 and did it myself, White Owl quoted 1500 installed

I have been piecing together the parts to make one setup for my truck. So far, here's the bill:

winch, good condition but leaks (needs rebuild), $300
bumper extensions, $50 per pair
NOS PTO shaft, $50
Sweat equity, free

Still need:

PTO - runs $100 to $200 for a good PTO
winch shifter handle - maybe $20
lockout plate for cab - maybe $15

I might be missing a few parts, but that's pretty much the required parts.

The one part that I had a really hard time finding, was the PTO lever bracket that bolts to the master cylinder. Finally got one, but had to pay more than I wanted to.

If you can find the winch levers for under 100 i'd like to know where. Or, a PTO for 100-200-that's cheap!

$1500 for a winch installed.. Thats not bad at all..

 

[tiger422]

Thanks
I will be looking around

Don't forget all the bolts you need. That will be several dollars.

I've managed to gather up everything I need except the shaft, PTO, and bolts. I think I have right at $200 in everything I already have (winch, extentions, PTO lever, and lock plate). I know, I got a steal. Just happened to be at the right place at the right time .

I have the bracket that the lever connects to...PM me and you can have it (I'll even throw in the bolts) for postage. This is the bracket that bolts under the cab to hold the winch handle.

RE: Re: RE: Winch cost

New bolts have already been mentioned. I spent around $100 on new bolts, plus some PB Blaster. Don't even think of reusing the old bolts/nuts. If they come off like mine did, the threads will either be taken off, or the bolts will shear during removal. They were gonna be replaced anyway.

RE: Re: RE: Winch cost

I recently bought a complete winch setup for $980.00, this included everything, the cable doesnt look to me as if it was ever off the drum! It was in beautiful condition. I did help take it off the original truck. But i did get ALLTHE PARTS! even the data plate that shows the pto shifts.
It took me about three hours to install the complete setup on my truck, Works like a dream!

I did however go over the whole winch assembly before i installed it on my truck,
