What winch is that carnt quite make it out from the pics and if your going wireless I reccomend fitting a cut off switch so is the remote breaks while winching in you can cut off the power rather then breaking things

Thanks mate! Thas for sure great idea. I hope will not happen! It's come original with wireless command so hopefully the double battery trick will do the job.

Thanks again!

Hey Marky,

Stock is rather large! hehe No problem there!

Towing hook? You mean standard point on the chassis? Yes, i agree, was been just for photo! At moment working on the front! Look here. Crome Moly CrMo 45A 50 mm diametar! Super light, super strong! Normally i use this material to build these once:







It is tubular space frame car. trust methat is GOOD material!
B) B)

So after finished with winch and front reinforcements, will go to the rear. Here is short peak into it.





Considering the road rules in this country, i MUST keep as much as possible STD look and generally speaking the car! So we will fit UNDER the standard bumper all show. Means, upper and lower winch support and chassis reinforcement, front tow points and so on. (NO choice!)

if he was to use a snatch block in deep mud i'm sure a 6000lbs winch will be able to pull a jimny quite easily out of the mud, even be it slowly,

we'd all love 8274's but not everyone has the cash for them!

I just bought whatever i find it first. So maybe i should buy that one? (Normally we use hydrauilic winches for racing.) How much is that one and where to buy it? I would like to buy one. Thanks!

I think there is room for both you modding nuts in here :) Pascal ASR, the Jimny looks good, i like how you have braced the front to keep it looking std for your local laws, although as many know on here , im not an engineer, I hope its strong enough for what you want it for.

DaveCC's is currently beating you to the " Dooms day" title, so lets see what you have got up your sleeve!
