trailer winch

DDT · Nov 25, 2001

Well I finally had time to put it on my trailer. I had to relocate my delta chain box to the side to keep the winch in the middle, but the truck bumper will still miss it.
I got a shelby 3400LB manual 2 speed with brake and put 3/8" cable on it. Should work good for what I need it for.

Nice set-up. Do you have trouble with hard right turns with the tool box mounted?

Fullthrottle, I was wondering the same thing. I'd sure be tempted to whack that corner off flush with the tongue brace.
Wouldn't be too hard to do.

Right turns. No it just clears as long as the tail gate up.

Truck hits trailer:
Usually after a couple of good bangs the truck or box will adjust and mold enough that they only hit when you bank um on a hill.

If the truck is old, delete the part of the truck that doesen't fit.
