Winch set-up advice
#12
Yes. I pulled mine off a Tahoe with a 5.3l V8. Direct bolt on, requires a slightly longer belt because it's physically larger. I installed one because of electric fan conversion, car audio equipment, auxiliary lights, and now a winch that I'm installing.

This is perfect. Thanks! This is definitely going on the "to do" list.

Another option if you want to up the capacity of a smaller winch is to use a ****** block.
Doubling your pulling power
Another type of winch rigging that uses a ****** block is the double-line pull. There are two common situations in which the double-line pull is useful. The first is if you think your winch doesn’t have enough muscle to pull out your vehicle. The second is if you want to recover a vehicle that’s bigger than yours.https://www.gowarn.com/warn-winches/winch-tips.aspx

I do believe, if set up properly and of course you have the necessary anchor points, a ****** block (probably 2) would accomplish the mission. Then you wouldn't have to worry about damage underneath. I imagine a ****** block on a tree behind the vehicle, maybe 2, one offset of the vehicle, cable run through then attached to the rear of the vehicle?

I'm running a Warn M12000 on mine with dual batteries and an AD244 alternator. I haven't had any issues, even though the full-load amp draw is something like 440 amps.
While any winch is better than nothing, I'm also a believer that you shouldn't skimp. Buy once, cry once.
