Installed the Shittybuilt XRC8000 winch that I got for Fathers day. I was pleasantly surprised with what seems to be a quality unit for the price. Came with grade 8 stainless mounting hardware and a nice fairlead. Controller is similar to my mile marker. I have yet to try the MM controller to see if it will work but I suspect so. ![[Linked Image]](http://gallery.me.com/zone1wst/100010/winch1/web.jpg) tacked a piece of 3/8 steel between the frame rails ![[Linked Image]](http://gallery.me.com/zone1wst/100010/winch2/web.jpg) Welded the main plate to the frame and then put some gussets on for added strength. Made sure I could still squeeze the winch in there.. ![[Linked Image]](http://gallery.me.com/zone1wst/100010/winch4/web.jpg) Welded up after test fit ![[Linked Image]](http://gallery.me.com/zone1wst/100010/winch5/web.jpg) I needed to add a place to mount the fairlead, since the winch cable was below the bumper. I made a mount out of a piece of angle Iron I had.

![[Linked Image]](http://gallery.me.com/zone1wst/100010/winch6/web.jpg) Welded to bumper...now its time to grind. ![[Linked Image]](http://gallery.me.com/zone1wst/100010/winch7/web.jpg) ground and painted. ![[Linked Image]](http://gallery.me.com/zone1wst/100010/winch8/web.jpg) Wiring..I had no room for the control box, I decided to mount it to the sheetmetal under the grill, we'll see how this works out. I thnk I'm going to rewite with an in cab controller soon. ![[Linked Image]](http://gallery.me.com/zone1wst/100010/winch9/web.jpg) Pretty much done for now. I'm going to get some synthetic line soon and an aluminum haus(sp?) fairlead. I think It will look a lot cleaner once I do that. Plus I'll get my approach angle back. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

![[Linked Image]](http://gallery.me.com/zone1wst/100010/winch10/web.jpg) Here's the side view. Its about as high as up and as far back as it can be without cutting the sheet metal and relocating the trans cooler. Its cenered between the frame rails so I think thats good. Cant wait to test it out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> Just from playing around with it, its a lot faster than the 12K Mile Marker on my 95. EDIT: picks not working..I'll have to figure out why later..

Thanks Hazy. I like how it came out. I think I'm going to take apart the solenoid box, and extend the cables and mount the control solenoid under the hood with an in cab controller. Project for another weekend.
