It looks sweet. Are you going to powder it?

Default Winch Guard Designed

I came up with a design for the winch guard. I'm going to get the patterns cut tonight. Maybe have it welded up by the weekend.

The Square design should make it easy to mount lights directly to it and hide the wiring. I was thinking about trying to work the stock fogs into it.

The main aluminum shell and the winch plate are mounted. I ran out time last night to mount the winch. Pictures to come.

Now if it would warm up from the -32C I could give it a test.

Don't mind the snow. It wouldn't stop to let me do the quick swap. Made and installed the shackles today.

Welded on just a simple winch guard. It has a 20deg forward lean. I got tired of winding in the winch cable all the time and haven't got the time in the near future to make the square one. I'll post more pictures. This will be revisited.
