Well just got home.
Winch mount is welded on, not breaking that in a hurry. Tested winch by pulling my mates fiesta along the drive with a handbrake on.
Used this flat winch rope i got at the Peterborough show. Its alright however doesn't feed left-to-right which is a bit of a pain.
Also at 110 ft its far too long. Think i'm gonna cut it in half and use the rest on the other winch when i fit it at the back.
Tomorrow mornings jobs are jet wash the front end, prep the front end for paint. Try the new anti-rust paint i got off ebay. Weld the winch bolts to the mount and modify the grill to suit. Then wire it all up, find a suitable bag to keep water away from the electrics and wire in a cut off switch in the cab.
And finally if theres enough time unscrew the eyelets from the rear bumper, cut the threads off and weld them straight to the bumper.

Saturday, weld an extension on the PAS bracket so i can fit the extra battery and run all required cabling.

Working Friday and Saturday night plus off roading all day Sunday. Looks like i've got a busy weekend ahead of me.

Many things to do, to many toys to play with, not enough time!!!!!!!
