Anyone reciever mount a warn 8274?

[Bowtie85]

Hey, I just put a front reciever hitch on my 97. I've got an 8074 that I was thinking of reciever mounting. Wondering if anyone has any input on this?

I know it's a heavy winch, would I be better of getting something like a vr10000 warn? It won't see lots of use, just a back up if I need it.

I've seen a few homemade mounts that don't look to bad

I had one for a short time. Hope you have a good back.

That's what I'm thinking

 

[YZEATER]

yes. very heavy.

Yeah with a setup like that, when you get stuck, you walk to the winch, look at it, then look at how bad you are stuck, and you try to determine which is easier.

Picking up the winch and putting it on, or just hooking the strap to yourself......

For the most part a winch isn't needed. But there's a couple remote lakes I want to get into and a winch would be a good back up as there's no cell service and it's a 12 mile walk to civilization
