[QUOTE="Pook, post: 1229715, member: 16813"] I bought a smittybilt after reading some reviews on Pirate and seeing one first hand on my brother's samurai. The price was right at $299 from 4wheelparts with free shipping. [url]http://www.smittybilt.com/product/index/38.htm[/url] I sold the new steel cable that came on it and bought some winch rope from Rockstomper. Since I got the new bumper mocked up I needed to figure out how to fit the winch. It was a little to wide. I had read a thread on Pirate a couple years ago on narrowing up a Ramsey winch so I figured it couldn't be to hard. So I pulled the winch apart and checked out its guts. Sorry about the pic quality, didn't realize the lens was dirty on my cell till the very end. Damn grinding dust.:looser: If you look inside you can see the inside tube was machined slightly to fit what I assume is( or part of) the brake setup. The other end has a drive gear welded to it. So it wasn't going to be as simple as I thought. [/QUOTE]
