Can one person do it? I'm getting the bumper tomorrow, had the winch for a month now. Anyway, can i install everything by myself? i have nothing to do, so i might try to intall it tomorrow. my wife can help me just a little bit, bring some tools and beer pretty much i can get her to hold something if not too heavy...
If i have to install the winch on the bumper first, then i won't try it, but if i can install the bumper then drop my winch in, it might be possible. don't you think?
anyway, like i said, it's Lod mid-width bumper and Warn Power Plant...
What do you think?

 

Andre pm Pagoda, maybe he can help you

I did it by myself and used the box from the winch to help support it, it's not too bad but takes a little muscle, it would be much easier with 2 people, but not impossible with one. Good luck, take your time and have fun with it.

 

He said that he would, but i think he is pretty busy during the week, some kind of tests and studying for something... I'm on unwanted vacation, so you know it's got to be done right away..
I will ask him

 

Thanks, did you install the winch after the bumper or the whole 200lbs thing?

 

I did my install myself. I installed the bumper first then mounted the winch.

 

Oh OK, the thing is, i looked at these pics:

And it looks like a really tight fit there...

another thing i forgot to ask.
i'm thinking about welding the bolts on the winch
Just for security, i live in a big city...
My stepbrother is a welder/fabricator, he's got about $10k worth of tools and machines at home.. I'm trying to get him to make me a custom rear bumper...
Should i weld the winch on, or the whole damn thing?
