if u have to buy EVERYTHING like the engine, tav, metal, spool stuff, ect. porlly not. Buying a used motor will cut costs. And stolen stuff is always free Wink

My winch will come in just under 600, however I didnt have to by the metal for the frame. But I think on my next winch I could do it all for under 800.

It depends on the quality of your parts and what parts you deem as necessities. Not having a break or wheels will save you some money. You can get a honda knock off for around $150 and a torq a verter for about the same. look for different parts on ebay. My winch should come in around 500-600 and I haven't gotten hooked up with any free stuff..

the parts will come in well under 800 if you know where to shop

its whether you can fabricate / weld / machine yourself or have a buddy that will do it for free, thats where you can really save $$$$
