    I bought the winch bumper for my trx4 from rc4wd all 5 of them and love looking at the winch’s 😁 plus the combo of the metal bumper and winch adds some weight it especially helps with my high trails and defender

    Just put a winch on my gen seven pro yesterday and i pulled the cable all the way out and didn't pinch it with my fingers and then reeled it in and it just picked my whole arm up and I'm almost 300 lb that was pretty cool I never knew they were that strong.

    I drilled holes in the stock plastic plate and made a servo winch there.

    • @scalefreakgaming
      @scalefreakgaming  4 года назад

      I had tossed around the idea of doing that, but the metal plate didn’t cost that much, and the wife said she wanted it. She wants...she gets.

    I wish some of the important parts of this installation where not skipped. Like powering it. Wire placement.

    • @scalefreakgaming
      @scalefreakgaming  Год назад

      Powering it: It's wired into the Receiver directly.
      Wire placement: zip tied to the inside of the frame to stay clear of suspension movement.

    I added a winch to my tow truck, for the scale reason. Of needing to pull cars and trucks. On to the trailer and get then un stuck.

      Ohhh...you know. I'm not sure. I mean...I'm all about the old school. And I think if a Chev fan saw you putting Ford parts on, they might throw rocks at you.
      But for some reason, it's okay to put a Chev driveline in a Ford. HAHA.

      Sure you do. I have seen a number of old Ford’s that have the winch mounted inside the grill guard. There is a ton of room. I used to be able to get in the engine bay of my F150 to fix it.

      What do you mean? My winch on my work truck is under the hood. It's totally scale. You need to get out more.
