[QUOTE="Falcon, post: 94885, member: 84"] [b]The Winch Mounting problem[/b] On the topic of how/where to mount a winch... here's something worth kickin around. They make portable winches for those who don't want one permanently mounted. Might be the ticket for some folks... you could toss your winch in the back before you hit the desert/bogs and stow it away at other times. Warn makes their XD9000i in a Multi-mount. [IMG]http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/content/Pod/01/00/41/p010041hz16.jpg[/IMG] In several versions: [URL]http://www.truckstuffusa.com/warnportablewinches.html[/URL] They also make a removable frame mounted 2" receiver that might be able to frame mount to the Raptor to give you fore and aft availability if you thought that was necessary, and remove it with 4 bolts: [IMG]http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-systems/images/192/receiver.jpg[/IMG] [URL]http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-systems/front_receiver.shtml[/URL] It might bolt up in front, or possibly could be adapted to work. I like the idea of being able to take it when I want... and leave it when I don't.
