I put a front receiver hitch on my 2000 F250. It's been really handy. And I did my install by myself. I'm sure you'll find it handy.
Yeah, I was thinking I could even put a cargo basket up there for gas cans or whatever. Seems like a good deal
Wow, more daring than I, fixing up that winch!! Glad the log moved. You crack me up with your droll humor! On to the next project I guess!
Thanks for that! :)
Looks good! Definitely going to be useful!
Yeah I'm pretty psyched about it
Good to see the ground crew turned up!
Absolutely. Just a phone call away :)
Always good to set goals!
absolutely! thanks
I like watching you customise your truck
Good to hear! Yeah, I'm working no a few more tweaks
Great install and looks good.
Big thanks! Yeah, it's working out well
Awesome job Spencer! Love that wench!!
Thanks Loren!
"uncle wiggly" :-) Good job on the install!
hahaa ... ya caught that one! good to know!
@@metaspencer Yeah, made me laugh! A winch is on my list too, maybe this year.
Sweet, man. I’ll have to order one of those too. Looks great. I have a Dodge D300 (1973) that’s RWD that also likes to get stuck sometimes. I’m an expert at not being able to get it out. Maybe all that can change 🤞
Good work as always. I hope this season is a busy one for you 😎
That '73 Dodge is a keeper! I'm thinking the front hitch could be good for a rack, too ... thanks man
You'll love having the beefy winch. Consider running cables with a quick connector to the back of the truck. There will be times when having a winch on the back is more convenient for a job like pulling out a stuck trailer
you're exactly right: to have that baby in back would be amazing in some situations. I hope you're well buddy!
@@metaspencer other than it's snowing here in Utah I'm doing fine
You did it and it worked ! ;)
The fact that it worked kinda amazed me ... and I've used it every day since :)
nice winch!
Thanks!
Mid 80's Camaro or Monte Carlo license plate bracket. They flip down.
Yes! I remember those now! Exactly what I need to find or fabricate :)
See, I have been thinking about a wench for the old Cummins, because it is just RWD (four rear wheels tho, lol) and I do occasionally take it places it probably should not go or feel sketch when I pull there.. perhaps wench + diff_locker = better odds.
better odds is where it's at! so far this one has been pretty handy
Yeah, just digging into car work is how a lot of us have had to learn. Still, it can create some interesting situations when you break off a spark plug during changing them out and you're 100 miles from the nearest auto shop. Will never consider myself mechanically inclined.
Broken plug! I haven't done that one yet, but I've broken off just about everything else :) Thanks for the comments
Now you'll find a million uses for that toy...err...tool!😉🤣
Used it each day since the install ... yeah, super handy so far
What most guys do is Mount the plug to the top of the bumper and then leave your cable on your winch long enough to plug into it and that way when your winch isn't hooked up you can use a set of jumper cables with your quick connector as well
Sounds like a better way to do it for sure -- fortunately, I've been keeping my winch hooked up 24/7 just because I use it so much. It's been great to have. Thanks man
I had a 12000# winch on my trailer where you have yours, pulled some big logs in my trailer
Now THAT is exactly what I need. A big boy back there ... thanks for the tip
Well done and I know you’ve seen the benefits. Who manufactures the receiver hitch?
The one I have is from Reese and seems pretty good. Super handy for sure
yep u shudda pressure washed that shit b4 putting it all back together
You are absolutely right! doh!
Great video! Is there a link for the Draw Tite receiver?
This is the front mounted receiver I used, but make sure you get one that fits your truck: amzn.to/3T5bNPk
and it looks like eTrailer carries one from DrawTite
I like this reciever hitch I am sold I have an f250 with the 7.3 engine I use it for hunting sometimes it seems like with this receiver hitch and winch cradle you can take the winch off and slide it into the back tow hitch if I run the power to the back . Am I right? Will it slide in just like a tow hitch.
Yeah you can move it around. I sometimes put this one on the back and power it with a long set of jumper cables ... you could also put a battery back there to run it or run wires on the frame. It's great to have a winch out there
Did you ever find the bottle's cap that your bumper covered at 7:35 ?
Oh boy would you look that!!! I just had to drive 6 hours to pick up a trailer, but maybe it's still there ... good eyes!
Winch on front, now how r u gonna get it into trailer? Lol
“Mini radiator” lol mini cooler for Diesel engine with turbo
Ur lucky Melissa is always available to help u out. Lol Go Melissa
She's just a phone call away :) I'm still using the tractor to lift the logs into the trailer, but really I need a log arch ... a man can dream. Thanks man!
maybe you could rig up a pulley in the trailer, detach it, block it off and use the winch. Probably more trouble than its worth.
@@c4man690 could work!
I liked the spotlights, but I aint gona winch about it...
hahahahahaha .... will have to put on some oversized lights that look wrong but turn night into day. :)
But how do you get the log into the trailer?
I used my tractor, lifting one side at a time ... was a close one!
Why would you mount a 13K winch on a 9K mounting frame?
Doh! Did I do that? Haven’t ripped it off yet somehow
I wasn't expecting to shut up like that But it's nice you didn't know what's on There nobody would ever know
Too bad to hit and sacrifice the lights
And I've used the winch every day since putting it on ... super handy
