you will break the frame before shearing a pin. a 5/8 pin in double shear is rated to from 30K to 5oK, depending on alloy used..
I don't watch much football but GO WINGS.Lions are only one up on the Raiders but are doing well for a change. ...I miss Barry Sandbag! But, Go Raiders! ...Oh yeah, good info on winch ideas, thanks guys. More are welcomed.
I've seen conflicting advise on the blanket / weight on the winch line.
Some say use one, others say that cables usually pull more straight back (likely to slip out from under a weight) and even if they went sideways the power is far more then a weight a person can carry easily would make a difference.
At best I'd file it under, "Well it can't hurt."
But I don't recall ever seeing folks who do it for a living using such things, including heavy wreckers that are pulling weights much heavier then single logs us firewooders with pickups will be dealing with. (And when I hear those cables singing I don't care if you use a firetruck for the weight in the middle...I don't want to be anywhere in the area!)
well in my 99 i have/took out now, I had a rail/thick plate mounted on the front of the box just under the window reinforced with rails mounted on the side , then had a cheap 4000lb mounted on to that. worked for 1200lb moose
