that frame looks kinda haggard is it legit? definitely throw some rubber on the bottom of it for better grippage

How much has the winch cost so far? Im looking to take a chance and try to build one and what gearing are you going to use?

NaRC-P rider, most likely going to cut those teeth on the bottom it works good in the grass because they dig in but not so good on concrete

Rock City Ryda, less than $700..5 to 1 gear ratio

C-WAY Crew, i'M not trying to be a a$s-hole but You really need to be carefull man, I dont think there's anything that looks safe about that, Remember that it needs to hold a lot of weight and the way it looks is that the metal where the spool is mounted to is WAYYYY to small. Also the fact that its just Bolted together scares me.... Make sure you weld everything up, Screws come loos and the last thing you want is that spool coming off when your riding and the winch operater loosing a arm.

Basically what i'm saying is go and get some 1/4" angle iron and weld it up LEGIT that way no-one gets hurt......

just my 2cents

good luck dude.

PIRATE, i agree... at the very least you need to support it teh part that is holding up the spool...

looks like it needs more support and that bottom peice looks pretty ragged.

thanks bros for all the comments...its not done yet, and it is kind of a trial and error process

What size is that shaft? In the Pics in doesn't look like a 1" shaft so you might have a hard time finding a sprocket and pillowblocks that will fit.

Nice spool what did you use for those sidewalls?

hyfliteskate, look at the engine in the first picture, where it says 8.0 on it, go straight up to the top of the pic and there is a tire with a white wall on it
