WW2 Winch for the F350

I've had this winch lying around for a better part of a year, so figured it was time to install it in something. Fortunately the space in the High Lift's bull bar was practically designed for this! The winch was easily fitted with two stainless cap screws, some rubber 'bushings', and a styrene back plate. No cutting or mods needed!
I hear that Tamiya may have a real operating winch option coming soon, so clearly this space will have to be re-alotted at that time ;)
Since the entire assembly is mounted with two screws from inside the bumper, this makes it necessary to remove the cab section in order to remove the winch. This also means that I must remove one of the aluminum bars in the bull bar so the body can be removed. Not exactly convenient, but hey!

Super nice. What model did the winch come from?

It's a Wild Willy 2 winch. I think the trees are still available from Tamiya.

that looks great! I have a pile of WW winches and have been thinking of doing the same, my only worry is with my driving, it would last about 30 seconds!
Beautiful work!
