winch dimmensions

[Kyle]

ive been throwin around designs for a heavy duty front bumper for my truck. i just cant seem to find any good dimmensions for the sizes of a winch. anybody have a rough estimate or idea of the width, height and depth of one? somethin like the warn 8000 one. can be any brand just something close to that with a moveable relay box. appreciate the help! thanks

you should get a winch before you make a bumper to accomodate it. just a suggestion

yes i have. that was what i originally was gonna do but its more convenient to have 2 mounted ones. its not as fun when ya have to lug around a hundred pound winch back and forth with mud up to ur knees
