I realize the popular winch is the 8274, but I'm not into rock crawling as a sport, so fast line retrieval speed is of no concern to me. I doubt I will need to, but if I do need to quickly retrieve line, I'll add butterfly posts.

I recognized the oil cooler as having nothing to do with the winch. Figured it was for power steering, though some cars have oil coolers that small.

Thanks for taking the time to post these pics.

If I have a long pull distance I have wrapped the cable in a figure 8 around the front of the bumper. Actually, the wire rope you see is not what I normally use. I have a poly line that is 3/8 and 120' in length. I don't leave it on as the UV here in southern AZ shortens the life span too much.
