Running a Winch rope from the middle?

[Mudhog1974classic]

Hi,

I'm going to be fitting a winch in to the middle -back of Mudhog.

My question is what have other people done for running the rope?

Pictures would be good.

Thanks

Have a look at foers winch as fitted to Ibex's.

Hi The 109,

Any chance you have some pic's of the set up's?

Tried Google and couldn't really find any pic's!

Has any one in Aussie got one of these set up's?

Cheers
Brett

Not Australia based, but Devon 4x4 in the UK run a competition tray-back with a winch setup.

10 - Rear winch cradle

Might be a bit extreme for your application, but it might give you ideas. There is quite a selection of photos of their comp vehicles.

Cheers!

I think the LR 101 Forward Control's use a central PTO winch which can be cabled front or rear. Could be worth pointing to this thread from the FC's / REMLR section.

[uninformed]

due to differences in chassis and vehicle design AND the fact the winch was outboard of the chassis rail, the 101 set up is not really aplicable to normal control rovers

both Blitz's and Unimogs did. Ok not a landy but it can be done.

I don't have the mag as I usually use them as compost but i remember a 4x4 mag showing a comp rig with a centre winch. Hopefully this jogs someones memory

I have 3 centre mounts. A Ramsey hydraulic on the 110 FC. A Thomas hydraulic on the 6x6 FC and a Thomas electric on the 120 ute.

Hi 123rover50,

How have you run the rope up to the front?

Any chance of some photo's?

Any information would be a great help.

My Rangie has got a 50mm body lift and I have had a good look under neath and can see the way I think the rope will go. I'm just not sure of what to run the rope in?

What about the heat from the exhaust!! Is this going to be a problem?

Cheers
Brett

are you wanting to winch in both direction or just forwards?
