M887/ Milemarker Hydralic Winch

[MatthewH]

Finally got around to building/finishing the front bumper/winch install on my M887.

Other than having to convert the solonoids to 12v, i built my own contoller and made the correct fittings using a new p/s hose that i cut apart and crimped on the correct JIC 6 fittings. Other than some electrical gremlins on my part, it runs in and out great, Can't wait until i get to really try it out

Thanks to Andrewh for his knowledge throughout the project

Here are some pics of the final product

Did you make the bumper or is that something your purchased and if so where?

 

[MatthewH]

No, it was something i designed/made at my shop. The winch cradle is made of 1/2in steel, the rest is out of 11ga plate.

If there's interest, i could build a few more

It looks great! It looks like a good aftermarket bumper. Good job on the whole install!

Great setup. Shows some thought. A tail chain on the end of your winch line will save it from abuse.

I like the looks of it!! Add the front brush guard and it would seem like you read my mind on the plans for my M1008!
