Kurt even converted the hiker/skier/environmentalist gal into a 70 series fan! Look at that grin.

It's not a hard sell

Hey Kurt, where do you have that iPad mount mounted to?

Hey, all you have to do is let them drive.

Suction cup on the dash. I have ball mounts on the dash of the 100 and 200 but for the 40/70 I just use their suction cup and it holds secure and doesn't move too much.

That seems like a poor design if you have to cut the body to mount a winch.

No thanks.

I looked at that & thought, hey, you actually could have hacked out some more of that sheetmetal under the grill & mounted the winch a little further back

It crossed my mind. But as it sits, the bumper over hang doesn't restrict approach angle and more then the shackles/springs. I'm a function > form type of guy.

Shoots! I either need to trim the body a bit or get an ATV winch =) I think I'll trim and do something like this...

What winch are you running? I love my comeup. Very slim design. Cruiseroutfitters has them in many flavors. I'll post a measured fit.

I haven't decided yet but I need 24v. I know the Come-up DV-9 would fit. Warn Zeon 10 also comes in 24v but might require more trimming.

I've got a comeup DV-9 in 24v. I received mine from @WanderinWhitlows at part of a trade. I'll let you know how it does if I use it during the meet and great. Initial impressions are great. I respoiled it in my driveway and it was fast and didn't tax my electrical system as bad as I expected. That said, @cruiseroutfit has them on the shelf. I'd recommend getting the synthetic line to save weight.

Thanks, that helps!

It looks like you may have to cut on the valence, that said if you push the bumper out a bit you may not have to.... with a hawes fairlead my approach angle is roughly 46* with the limfac being the fairlead. If I switch to a synthetic line I'd have roughly 48* approach with the spring/shackle being the limfac. This is of course dependent on lift and tires.

From last weekend at the grocery store, a sweet 100 series parked next to me and I ended up chatting with two 60 series owners.

^That must be one rad grocery store!

Just a run of the mill City Market, there are so many more Cruiser owners around here than any other place I've lived; it's pretty cool around here.
