John - is that a multi-mount winch on the front of your T in the 2nd picture?

If so, what can you tell us about it?


It is a Ramsey QM5000. I've had it since 1993, I bought it after spending a day and a half trying to get my Land Cruiser out of a muddy situation (a high-lift jack is great, but requires a lot of work).

The front hitch is pretty simple, I think you can buy one from Hidden Hitch now. I bought the 'T' shaped cross tube and hitch section, and had the front tow eyes reversed and welded to it, and bolted it to the frame extensions to hold it in place (link 1 link 2).

I ran heavy power cable to the back bumper too, that's the direction I've needed to use the winch most often.

Since you mentioned your 85 truck, I gotta post a pic of my first Toy 4x4, also an 85... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
