I just spent 2 hours reading this whole thread. Great documentation.
I'm always impressed when people figure out so many problems on the fly. I'm OCD so every issue you tackled looks/sounds like a few weeks of researching, measuring, researching, drawing something up, researching, sleeping on it, forget about it for a while, remember, research....
The fact that you had so many things happening at the same time (and hadn't done some of them before) is mind boggling to me.
Amazing work!

Thanks for the compliments. It always good to hear when someone appreciates the effort that gets put into projects.

You're doing an awesome job, your bends look really good. I thought about getting a harbor freight kinker, from what I hear they do alright if you keep the bends under 90°. I picked up a bender for $40 about 12 yrs ago, and still haven't used it. It didnt come with any instructions, and later I found out that it was more for flat bar, although I believe it will bend up to 1" square tubing. One of these days Im going to try to use it to build a roof rack.

That turned out awesome man. I have the same winch and it has performed awesome for me. So far I have pulled out a Kia, a Ford Ranger, a Grand Cherokee, a Fedex truck, and even an 18 wheeler stuck in the mud. Its hell on my battery but it gets the job done.
