installing a garwood 20,000 lb on deuce

[thegreenman76]

I'm new to the deuce. I just purchased deuce from 100dollarman, and he's is in the process of bobbing mine. It will be a daily driver. I'm out here in vegas and I plan to do a lot of wheeling. A good rule of thumb is to have a winch rated double the curb weight. I will be the biggest one wheeling so I will be on my own with recovery.

So now to my question, is it possible to install a 20,000lb garwood winch? What mods whould need to be made?

Use a snatch block and then you got a 20k winch on your deuce

I have a Deuce with a 10K Garwood winch that winch has been able to get me out of whatever I have been foolish enough to get myself into I also have a snatch block assembly and have never had to use it, BUT JUST IN CASE RIGHT!!!!

1) too heavy
2) drive is on the wrong side (but can be changed)
3) not really needed (the 10k winch is more than enough)

With all that being said, there are people that have done it. The 2x rating you've heard has to do with electric winches. Have you accually looked at a 20k winch? The stock 10k is a pretty big setup but the 20K is a monster.

The best bang for the buck would be to add a stock deuce 10k winch and use a snatch block. Everything else is going to be complicated.
