Hidden Winch

[Chaderic26]

I was thinking about getting a winch too. Not sure how to tackle mounting since I have the ranch hand brush guard on there. I think it might be tricky getting it situated.

Pic of your brush guard. Anything is possible with will power.

Excuse my ignorance, but how do you engauge and disengauge the winch?

 

[jdpber]

You move the control box to te side, you have a long cord that plugs into te control box to send cable out and in. As for the free spool lever. You simply reach up in there and flip te switch.

I was planning to rotate the winch 90* so (the base play points to the engine. And the lever would be facing the bumper And easy to grab.


There is also wireless control in/out controllers also

What type of push bar is on this Tahoe? I have an 01 Yukon Z71 that I would like to mount a hidden winch and a Go Rhino type push bar on the front. I was worried that the lower bar of the push bar would interfere with the winch rope.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I doubt it would interfere. If anything i might rub on tall things like if you try to recover a lifted truck

I was just looking for a front mount hitch for my 01 Hoe. I use mine for a rod holder for the beach and a cargo rack. I don' like the under the bumper mount, I would like one that would come through the plastic valence right under the chrome bumper. The only way I think this can be achieved is to get it custom welded.

This is definitely the type I would mount if I had a 4WD model.

I think that looks great and the clean hidden look would look good on your ride.

I sometimes wish that I had my stock Z71 from bumper because that middle of the valence looks perfect for the hidden winch. I have a full front end replacement with a receiver hitch so If I get a winch I'll put it on a receiver mount.
