frame design

im gonna start building a winch once i have the resources and need a good design for the frame. i was looking around for inspiration and i came upon the pulldozer, and i really like the design, as it is very minimal. would it be super terrible for me to base my winch off a similar design or should i just stay away from that? lol just wondering

do what works best for you. figure out what you like/don't like and what materials you have and get after it! Mine is a frankenstein monster of different design elements that I liked.

dang i didnt even realize how cool pulldozer's frame was until i just saw a picture..... that looks like a really good frame to copy, just not a very easy one Smash

Yeah that Pulldozer is nice....

No harm in copying what you like the best,
goto Iwinchglobal.com and look at the galleries of winches
lots of inspiration there....

Yep the Pulldozer or the Cockney design work well. If you need any help I have a full metal fab shop in my garrage( 210 miller mig, drill presses, tube benders, tube notcher ect). just hit me up.
