Perfect. Thanks.

 

Picked up the rest for the winch mount got some 1/4x3in and 1/2x10in over bord yes

 

Cut some more out and started on the winch plate... Works great as a chair for a buddy when checking if it's level going to get the 1/2 plate bent tomarow

 

Anyone got anything bad to say about badlands 12000lb winch

 

Don't know from experience but I've heard from others that with it being Hardor Freight its just as BAD as the rest of there tools. You may get a few pulls from it but it will break on you in no time. So if you get it DEFIANTLY get the extra warranty. So you can take it back and either get your money back or another winch and do it all over again.

 

Its simple, WARN, or save your money. Ive got two that have went thru several jeeps and about 10 years of abuse. I would never buy anything else. Ive had to winch out other people with other brand winches that have died before. The 10 k on the mm has been on 6 jeeps, never gave me a minutes trouble.

 

Sorry guys I had a coupon and foot it for 300 so I figure it's worth it

 

Hope it came with warranty, a warm m8000 is only 579 now I think.

 

Yes 3 year warranty and by then I'll get a warn

 

Browse CL ive seen em on there from time to time.

 

That's the plan that or eBay I just needed something because I'm sick of when I do get stuck having to have someone there

 

How close should the fairlead be to the winch?

 

Id say 3-4 inches

 

Could it be closer like 1in or 2in does it really matter ?

 

do your self afavor move the winch out away from the grill if you ever need to remove it dont wanna have to remove the winch...jmop...
