Hey Dave, thanks for the pictures! Based on what you have and what you are looking for the Tie Down Spare Tire Mount part #TD66FR that you referenced would be a great option. This is very similar to what you have now so it would do a great job.
Good question, Tina - you’re in the safe zone with the M-3 aluminum plate #M348FR. It’s 3/16 inch thick and fully welded across the piano hinge (some cheaper ones are just bolted instead of welded), so even with heavy mowers or small tractors, it…
The Badland winch 9k has a power draw of 300 amps at full load. You need a deep cycle 12V AGM battery that can handle that amperage. I recommend a battery with 650 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA). Badland Winches are an introductory winch with a not so…

For a 12,000 lb. electric car trailer winch like the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch part #BDW10040, I recommend a standard 12 volt lead acid battery rated up to at least 650 cold cranking amps (CCA). As long as the battery is rated up to 650 CCA then…
Yes, it will Bruce. However, you will also need to install the Westin MAX Winch Mounting Tray item #W25VM first. The Westin MAX Bull Bar for MAX Winch Mounting Tray item #46-43740 will bolt right to it. It comes with all hardware necessary to…
Is this a winch something that installs on a vehicle? Or would you be plugging it into a wall outlet? What is the 1,200 lb item that is getting pulled? A rolling load? Is there an incline at all? Do you prefer a wire rope or a strap?
A man cave in the attic, sounds like an interesting project that you have going on here. I would love to see pictures of the project once it is completed! The StrongArm AC Powered Winch, #DL25514, that we offer powers in and out to avoid a free-fall…
Hey Bill, thanks for reaching out! It sounds like you're needing something like the Scissor Stabilizer Jacks w/ Handle #TJSCHD-24. This has a few different holes for the mounting hardware so it should be able to match up with the bolt pattern you…
I recommend using the CE Smith U-Bolt #CE15501A because it is stainless steel, measures 2-1/8" wide x 4" long, and it includes the washers and nuts you need for the installation. Ultimately you will still get galvanic corrosion over time…

In these days of customer "no service" I am usually disapointed when doing business with people I don't know. It was refreshing doing business with you. I'm impressed!
Electric winches are essential for off-road enthusiasts, boaters, and trailer users. They provide the power to pull heavy loads with ease, whether you're securing a jetski, loading a race car, or tackling tough terrain. Consider factors like load capacity, remote control options, and installation requirements to find the perfect winch for your needs.
Choose a winch with a load capacity that exceeds your heaviest expected load. For example, a 5,000 lb winch is great for side-by-side vehicles, while a 2,000 lb winch can handle tasks like securing a jetski. Always opt for a higher capacity to ensure safety and efficiency.
A remote control is a game-changer, allowing you to operate the winch from a distance, which is especially useful when loading vehicles or navigating tricky spots. It adds convenience and safety, letting you steer and control the winch simultaneously.
Installation can vary based on your vehicle or trailer setup. Some may require longer bolts or specific mounting plates. It's generally straightforward, but ensure you have the right tools and follow the instructions carefully for a secure fit.
Ropes are lighter and easier to handle, but cables are more durable for heavy-duty tasks. Consider your typical use; if you're frequently in rugged conditions, a cable might be better. For lighter, more frequent use, a rope could be more convenient.
Be aware of potential issues like overheating during heavy pulls or mismatched components like ropes instead of cables. Regular maintenance and ensuring compatibility with your setup can prevent these problems and extend the winch's lifespan.
