    Default Show me your winches!

    I have a warn 8274 that I plan to mount on the M715. I don't really want to modify my original bumper but I might if I see a design I like. I'd like to see what others have done with aftermarket winch setup. Thanks, Bill

    Hey Wrecker,
    It's been a while since I've posted any pics but I'm trying to get a couple up of my winch/bumper set up.

    I,am thinking about selling my stock winch setup and going with the hydraulic mile marker 15 k winch. I hate the stock winch sticking out so far............

    Oh gosh, I guess that's what makes the world go round. The stock winch just delights me. I only wish I could get enough done to get backto rebuilding it. All in due time.

    Here is the one I made for an 8274. It was a lot of work but I like how it turned out. You can check my build thread to see how I fabricated it. Hope this helps.

    Love your truck Troop, one of my faves.

    I've got some 7" channel and a 12000lb winch laying around and have been checking this thread to see if any ideas pop up.
    Troop's bumper is fantastic but way above my patience/skill set.

    I asked the Google to show me "M715 channel iron winch bumper" and this was one of the hits:
    Show me your winch (BUILT) winch bumpers

    I like the stock winch setups... but then I don't... can't make up my mind. It looks gloriously obnoxious and badass but I don't like something sticking out that far.
    But I know I don't want the winch mounted down low. Winching someone else out is one thing but if I'm stuck enough in an M715 with 2 lockers to need a winch... I don't want that winch to be down between the radiator and the axle and need a shovel or a snorkel to get to it.
