Just remote mount the control box next to the battery. You have to wire the battery to the winch anyway, so just spent a little extra time with some extra wire. No electricity going to the winch unless your using it. Problem solved.
Iâve been surprised how much water still gets in between a bolt and a nut. You might consider putting some weep holes in the bottom of you bar to allow the water to get out unless youâve siliconed the rivnut and light bolt or something.
I relocated the controller right next to the battery. There is a nice little space thatâs perfect for it. I actually made the winch plate cover and I can still reach the clutch under the plate. If I plan on using it a lot I can always pop the cover off.
Right. I think the good part is he likely got his car under it, based on his damage, and picked the bed up with his car and dollyâd it over into the other car. There is no rubber on the ground FWIW.
Sorry no link bc I fabricated it. âč
Someone noticed it before and said theyâd buy one if I built it. The problem is I wouldnât know how different the heights would be for different winches and winch mounting kits. I also mounted the control box under the hood so that would be required for...
It doesnât protrude past the bumper, so no worries there. As far as the camera, I still see what I need to but it does take up some of the image vs no bar. I wouldnât say it âblocksâ it though.
LMFAO just now. Exactly right, but hurts me deep inside in a different way thinking people think I park like that. I saved footage from my dash cam just in case parking comes into question.
VA Hospital garage with multiple cameras. I canât wait to see it too but have to wait for them to send me official report. Based on how his front looked he definitely climbed under the rock rail and carried the truck over.
If I would have just tried to back up I would have taken her entire front...
LOL. My wife said the same thing - whyâd you park like that!
Sadly this is part of the reason for getting steel bumpers and rock rails.
When I saw the Cadillac, I was like damn there is 100% going to be body damage to my truck. Not so. Even saved the fender on the driver side kissing the SUV.
