    Looks good! Is it bolt on or weld on? What I really like....how you painted the core black and filled the area with some useful lights, good move. That looks like a beast of a winch. My only complaint....we need more pics!:)

    Is that 2" pipe? I was planning on making one like this but was worried about how i was supposed to bend that thick of pipe! I dont wanna have to buy a 300$ bender i was thinking of just making a jig and slowly heating-bending the metal?
