Warn 8274 with 150 feet of 5/16" wire rope, hook, wire, multi-mount and quick disconnect weighs 150 lbs + or -. The Roller Fairlead accounts for 12 lbs of that.

The multi-mount frame was cut from an old bumper and I welded a length of 1/4" wall 2" square tubing to the bottom of it. This system is very awkward because there are no handles. I don't want to add any more weight than is necessary. If I used UHMWPE rope it would save me approximately 21 lbs.

The front bumper was constructed from 3x3x1/4" Square Tubing, The front spring mounts are small peices of 1/4" channel that I cut out on a cnc mill. Bumper is held on with 8 - 3/8" bolts and 2 - 1/2" bolts.

 

We have a responsibility as 4wheelers to be careful where we drive, and always support Tread Lightly policies. We don't want to see someone tear up land and make new trails on their own. These are  legitimate trails. Most trails here are fair game as long as you don't cross any "Critical Habitat", salmon stream's, or private property. The pictures that you see on this page or anywhere else on this website are all on dedicated trails. There are a few pictures that appear to not be on a trail, but I assure you that they are. The reason that they look the way they do is because not very many people make it back  this far, so the trail tends to grow over after a few years. Also, people have made bypasses around the nasty spots.  We  prefer to stick to the main trail when ever possible.
