| one was easy the other was a pain in my ass lol. trying to install the winch mounting plate took the most time out of everything. installing the plow was super easy only thing with the plow is before I go to Brimstone in march I am going to have to take the plow mounting plate off because it hangs pretty low. | |

| Looks good. Here's what I did. Simply extended the push tubes and added a pivot point & hitch tube to go in my receiver. Slide it in and hook up the winch and start plowing. It will pivot forward and back. No plow mount needed and you can put it on any regular, single quad with a 2"receiver. | |

| It works real well on pavement. Many miles of use. I don't know how it would work on gravel. Very easy to put on different quads. It is a little sloppy side to side. No big deal though. | |

I thought about that, I have a Warn Bumper on front & thought about makin some type of guide to handle this. Maybe get busy on it this wkend. We only have a couple inches of snow, but it is cold & windy, Thanks for the Idea | |

| Next up was a pulley extension... I made the pulley out of a pipe and a couple of large washers. A little welding and voilĂ ! This changed the angle and lift. Pay no attention to the mangled bumper, that has been cut out and replaced!!! The bumper originally was on my Brute Farce. I had to modify the front rack to make it work on the Grizzly. | |
