I started working on my '08 Rancher, doing a little repair and restoration during these cold winter months. I replaced my tired old winch with a new one, but I also relocated it to the top of the front rack. I got tired of reaching down and fishing for it in the mud whenever I needed it. Now I wonder if that was really a good idea. Has anybody else tried this, and what were the results? Did the rack stand up to the pressure? I really like keeping it out of the mud (somewhat) and it works great there with my little snow blade. Anybody with any experience with this, or comments about it, please feel free to reply. Thanks! sullyjim
