Is that an ATV winch ? Are you sure it would be up to pulling you out of a bog hole ?

Bar looks good :wink:

looks good mate. i had the same winch on mine be sure to use the block with it to double the cable back to the zook and its slow but will pull the zook out of just about anything. Just be carefull the motor and gears are not sealed and they like to rust up. Thats what killed mine.

the advantages of a cheap bar are you can fix em cheap too
i took it off cut out the bent bit found some water pipe to go full length in the front bar then stuck it back together .
