Trailer winch mount.

Stopped for today. Rain coming in. Need more than a 1/4 impact or the hole needs opening up just a hair.

Looks great, send it!

. Cut it off, re-think it, over-design the hell out of it, and try again. J/K looks good! Run it hard.

I need to figure out a battery tray for the box next. The last AGM battery I bought doesn't fit the try in the race jeep.

The wire:

And quick connects came in:

So I’m leaning towards mounting the deck mount to the 3” channel already there and add a piece of angle to each side. I’ll build a drop in mount for the cradle.

So those two plugs I assume are places for hoses?

What is the deck mount for? Looks useless if you already have the other one at the front.

Those two fittings are for hoses. I think 1/2” NPT but I’m not 100% sure. It’s a 2 way cylinder, but the plate that separates the 2 chambers has a ~1/16” hole drilled in it. This flow restriction is what provides the damping action on the tilt. I just tack welded mine shut when I added the pump/motor. But you really need air in the system to use it as a damper since the chambers have different volumes. Or you can add a second dummy cylinder somewhere to match the volume movement.

The deck mount was me thinking of a way to mount the winch there or a d ring for using a vehicle winch to drag a vehicle up on the deck.

I understand the hole for fluid transfer but not sure I understand the rest.
