200 big red winch

[bigmac]

Without a possibility of bending the racks and or forks how could you mount a winch to a 200 have used the search button but looking for better ideas

I have seen some people with just a big steel plate mounted where the front rack would go then they just bolt it to that. Not in person though so i cant give you exact details other than an idea.


Edit:
Skip to 3:50 and youll see one. This is from TF.

Do u think a winch could have enough power to bend the forks??

[Thorpe]

Yes, if your front end was wedged into a log or something.... I gusseted my rack, moved the side bars as far forward as possible and plated it with steel...

I think the rear is a better place for a winch. Anchor to the grab bar and/or rack somehow.

I feel like that would be dangerous. Did you ever try and pull something by strapping it to the back rack? It lifts up. I think youd be better off with it on the front.
