Is that the same as "subscribed"? Subscribed is found under Quick Links tab at the top of your screen to help you find topics easily at a later date. I kept seeing people post "Suscribed" and it took me a little while to figure out why. Ok, so I am just a little slow on some stuff but I eventually get there.

Some people post "subscribed" so they can look at the last threads they posted in, instead of being updated by email or notification when actually Subscribing to thread.

Default Excellent work

I HAVE ALWAYS CONTENDED THAT THE LOWER INSTALL THE BETTER--YOUR INSTALL GIVES 100% AIRFLOW--DESERT OR HIGH ALTITUDE CRAWLING IN HOT WEATHER WILL NOT OVERHEAT, MOST INSTALLS CUT FLOW 25-50%--THE MORE AIRFLOW THE BETTER--CRW

I am going to be tackling this in the very near future. I have the winch.

Anyone in or around the Denver area with experience with this and willing to give me a hand with it?

Is the Harbor Freight winch mounting plate available again or am I looking at the wrong one?

subscribed!

Just curious but has anyone done this with a Recon 10500 winch?

There is a metal fabricator up the street so i'm gonna swing by and talk to him about welding a plate on before trying the upside down method. Seems to make things a bit more accessible.

It is still available in my area of west TN. I bought one a couple of days ago. Not sure if they are going to keep stocking it, because the store I was at had them on clearance for $19.99. While I was there, I also bought there 9000lb winch for $249.99 with their coupon. Now I'm working on installing the winch into the stock bumper.
