here's some pics of my winch build, just done a few first tests and it deep waters a big guy like me @180 lbs easy.

so much fun to skate anywhere i want to Laughing

here's some specs

6.5 knock off horses
TAV 2
custom alluminum spool
titainium releasing hub and axle
alluminum frame
nickle plated chain
anchoring spikes + tethering eye bolts to tie the winch down

everything was home made as i work in a machine shop as a cnc machinist Cool

Looks really good. Kinda big tho hope you have a pick-up truck. Are you going to build a lot more or what are you doing with the extra spools?

yeah it is kinda big but the wheels are quick release and the spikes come off so it fits in the boot/trunk of my saloon car and its real light to lift and run with as its all alluminum and titainium

i made the extra spools to swap for the things i couldn't make, 1 swapped for some bulletline and 1 swapped for the engine Very Happy

only thing that cost me for the winch was the TAV

Thats a pretty sick spool. How did you make em?

RyanMan, the side walls are 1/4 inch alluminum plate, drilled out holes for cross struts, then wire eroded (laser cut) spoke pattern and then pressed in some roller bearings to fit on 1" axle

any engineering/machine shop should be able to do this for you

hus #1, im actually majoring in mechanical engineering, so hopefully in a year or 2 the department will let me work with the machinery in the engineering building, so I can make my own winch.

hus #1, are any of those extra spools for sale?

price.dan, sorry man the extra spools have all gone, i may make some more but international shipping would be a b!tch

RyanMan, if your majoring in engineering just go and make friends with anyone in the machine shop, they will help you make a winch, its a interesting project to make
