Alright...time for the part 2 of this project....LOL. The winch install. Removed everything from the front of the truck. Took the frame extension, bumper beam and pieces, shackles, grill, etc to a local shop and had them blasted and powdered a flat black. Installation was very straight forward. Getting any of the needed hardware wasn't easy. Had to order most of it from a local Fastenal. The 10.5" bolts, 2- 5/8" and 4- 1/2" that go all the way through the bumper, frame extensions, etc and sandwich it all together I ordered from McMaster Carr. The kit I purchased had a custom made PTO shaft with it. I opted not to grind my bellhousing and purchased a NOS multifuel shaft from Ken Kublo.
The most complicated parts of the install were the fact that my frame was about a 1/4"-3/8" to narrow for the install. I spread it by loosening my front crossmember bolts and using a pipe, some threaded rod, and some washers made a simple unit to spread it apart. To my surprise it spread very easily. The other issue was my fuel line. Some may recall that I ran my fuel line from my primary filter to the injection pump up on my front crossmember. This worked great but was in the way of the winch PTO shaft. I has to redirect it. Brought I over the PTO shaft, down along the left side of the radiator and then across the bottom of the front crossmember just behind it in front of the oil pan, then up to the primary filter. It is still safe, shielded by the crossmember.
