[JunkYardCrawler]

i'm going to be building my front bumper soon and i need to know how to build a winch carrier, or what ever it is called. i plan on going with a warn winch. if some one can send me diagram or antthing with the bolt holes and basicly what i need to add to the bumper to put the winch in. so far i got a full brush gaurd and its a tub rectangular tube bumper so it will also be an air tank. what thiknes steel should i use? 1/8 inch to keep it light? thanxs for the help.

Well as it gose it gose and under it rolls heavey rubber bouncing on a head.

If anyone has the info on the mounting bracket I could use it too. I am too poor to afford the winch right now and am building my bumper next week. Luke

Go to http://www.ramsey.com/
You will find a diagram with the bolt pattern, this is the same for Ramsey as for Warn.
As for your airtank, DO NOT, repeat DO NOT use 1/8", that's to thin and it will leak or worse, explode under pressure.
Use 3/16".
I know it's heavier, but it's safer.
Better safe then sorry.

Yeah that was a thought with the 1/8. originaly i was goingto use 1/4 thick but that would be way to heavy. what size do you use one your bumpers?
