Something that is just as important as material choice, is execution.
Design your winch cradle/ mounts first, then add the tube outriggers etc. Mounts are very important, so get them right the frst time

2" tube with 3mm side wall should be strong enough. |

Mount it to the ends of the chasis using crushtubes and make a bracker so that it can be attached to the front crossmember also using some M10 hightensile "u"bolts. If you sleeve the cross member with a snug fitting pipe it will add extra strength. Ive winched some stupid things with my old sierra and with it mounted this way i never had any issues with the way it was mounted. |
