Warn Winch Install on Garage floor to pull vehicles up the driveway and into the garage

- Up until now I have relied on people to help me get the dragster from the street, into my garage. It is more difficult than you might think.
Our driveway has quite a slope. The dragster only weighs 1440 pounds but takes four people to get it up the driveway.
With the winch bolted to the floor of the garage, other than turning it in the street, I should almost be able to get it up the driveway myself. Glenn Lever
Excellent build. Just add a remote and you won't have to rely on help. You can drive the dragster as you winch it in. Then a battery maintainer to keep the winch battery ready at all times.
Thanks, the winch runs on 110
Don't know how I ended up here, but I watched the whole thing. Very nice job and well done.
I did this 20 yrs ago and have used it so much. I work alone so had no way to push cars. Worked so well i put one in new shop also. Great trick for template. Gonna try that
Good vid
Thanks, my only complaint is the cable speed is to slow. We have moved and have a new shop. I took the winch with me and will be installing it at the head of a ramp in the shop.
Wow great video Glenn! When I started watching I thought "oh man 27 minutes that is going to be too long" ... but then I could not stop watching! Very well done and the plate turned out like a piece of art! The only thing that would have made it better was to see the dragster actually pulled into the garage at the end.
Thanks for the kind words. I have been working on making the videos shorter. There always seems to be something else to include in the video. Here is the video of the dragster being pulled into the garage.. ua-cam.com/video/QaiexB-uaZg/v-deo.html Glenn Lever
You do great work my friend, that is quality stuff. Your workshop is amazing. If only I had an oven, sandblaster, lathe, drill press, plasma cutter, welder I'd be in good shape! Ok, well I do have a drill press and a small lathe. thankfully I was able to buy a plate from the winch manufacturer though, but that was a great idea you had that helped me a bunch!
I understand your comment, at one time I did not have any of that equipment either. It has been gathered over time, now sometimes the body will not do what the mind wants to do with the equipment these days, I wounder which is better.
Really nice job, and great shop setup.
I think your mounting will certainly more than suffice !!
Subscribing now.

Hah this is exactly what I was looking for...damn UA-cam has it all. Thanks man! I have a driveway from hell as well...it aint even easy turning wrenches under it.
It has worked well for me. Moved it to the new garage and still use it. Thanks
I bought a Harbor Freight winch almost identical to the Warn. So far it's worked like a charm. I paid $129.00
Clean neat job...
I LOVE your workshop.
Well equipped with powder coating.
Thank You.
Learned a lot Thank you,
I am happy it was of help.
You made the same mistake everyone else does when doing this. You bolted it to the ground. You should have bolted a step receiver plate to the ground and THEN mounted the winch to a regular receiver winch cradle. No need to worry about bolts and how they will get in the way. Replacing and maintaining the winch is so much easier. The winch is able to be moved and used in other locations. More bang for your buck.
Nice job Glenn, very informative...... You are getting good at these videos and it is nice you talk over the video during your presentation. So now you are an expert at this step.....you may won't try a little upgrade in your presentation. During the video when you feel comfortable in the process, stop working and talk in front of the video and tell your story. You can do 2-3 during your process and it will just make it more interesting. Anyway Glenn.........Job Well Done......
...did the kitchen ever get completed!??
The hole in the wall is a genius idiea! Lol
Yes.
Good job.
Well edited and no dumb jokes. Just show what you need to and do the voice-over. I watched it all and I usually don't.
It is the style I try for. I want to see the project, not listen to someone talk. That is needed from time to time though. Thanks
FANTASTIC video!!!!! I have one question?why aren't neighbors?!! I'd love learn from you.. i subscribed cause this is true old school of the working class man...
Welcome and thank you for the complement. If you watch enough of these videos you will see one where the cops show up because we started the dragster for a very short time, the whole thing was on tape.
Looks like you do good work :)
Thank you, you went beyond most skoolie builds, good job. Thanks for the subscription. Still a large learning curve on making these videos. Glenn Lever
Hey man. Great idea. How did you connect to power supply though? 12v winch with 110v power from the socket is ok?
It is a 110v winch
Holy sh*t that was overkill. I used duct tape to install mine and it works fine.
Should have recorded it in action
Question.....what did you do or how did you connect your power set up.......are you just using a 12volt battery or what?
It runs on 110 Volts, I plug it into the wall.
Part 2???
It is already reinstalled in the new shop. Did not make a tape
Will a 1,500lb winch pull a 3,600 pound car up the driveway into the garage?
1,500 pounds is dead weight. Depending on how steep the driveway is I would think you would be alright. However if it were my 3600 pound car I would want a stronger winch.
Whether this is available in india
Hi, I have thought about this. Did it work out? Thanks,
My only input to the negative is it is slow.
where I can find the concrete screws ? thanks
I got these at "The Home Depot"
What size botls did you use?
I will have to check and se if I still have some around.
Knee pads!!!
That would have helped.
Why not just drive it
You're a special kind of stupid
The dragster has a 200" wheel base with 6 " of clearance. Without picking up the front end i would not be able to get it up the driveway. With the front end in the air you cannot steer it.
