[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 67796, member: 337"] not the prettiest install but I wanted to avoid putting too much effort into cosmetics until I tested it to see if it was logical and worked well. It does function well (and fast), but I probably will leave it looking Frankenstein. [ATTACH=CONFIG]3389._xfImport[/ATTACH] Two carriage bolts hold the entire assembly on - so easy off if needed. [ATTACH=CONFIG]3390._xfImport[/ATTACH]height of roller is just right to crank into position - then loosen up and drop it down onto pin I bolted a rope hook onto the standard Otter hitch using existing bolts - non-snaggy design is a plus [ATTACH=CONFIG]3391._xfImport[/ATTACH] here's how the hitch get's pinned down for going down the road. at this point the winch plays no longer plays a role [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I predrilled the "assembly" 4x4 then hooked it up THEN drilled the holes in the floor. that made putting it in the correct place very easy. Finally - I had to reverse the crank from right hand to left hand - dang reverse springs aren't sold separate to I blew $10 on a kit just to get the reverse spring. If you buy a crank see if you can find/order a left hand (depends on what side of trailer you have your shelter on of course). [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] that asian beetle looks bummed out [/QUOTE]
