    Built me a new portable winch setup. Still got my 12k winch but often times it's rather slow and cumbersome but I bought a 4K winch for cheap off flea bay and went bout making a more portable setup.



    Built a platform using 2" heavy wall square tubing and a piece of 8" channel iron


    Attached winch and whatnot


    And welded a add receiver hitch to my trailer, pulled from a scrap pickup bout 4 years ago I knew I'd need that someday.


    And course had to try it out



    It's getting chain hooks welded to the channel iron as well, so I'm thinking between either a chain or a receiver hitch it can be where ever I need it.
    Going to pickup a car with a flat tire tomorrow, the true test.
    Alvord iron and salvage

    Almost forgot to add I finished my winch setup off with chain hooks and some paint. I've already used it on my other trailer that lacks the receiver hitch and the hooks work like a charm. Heard rumbles of scrap goin up so stay tuned boys and girls
