Similar installation but on Lil Foot: Neither has to be particularly strong, as they are both relatively light vehicles. Lil Foot weighs a lot more than the Rhino, and has pulled out maybe 2 dozen vehicles, some full size. All aluminum winch mount/bumper. It is only attached with (4) grade 8...

Sorry, can't seem to find any detailed pics:

When I worked in a production machine shop decades ago, we had a guy who had been oiling/greasing/lubing machines all over the plant for 30+ years. He was of the opinion that any lube (even if not the recommended lube) was better than no lube at all. I am of the same opinion. YMMV.

The best thread sealant I've ever used (by orders of magnitude) is this stuff: But they apparently went out of business, couldn't find it anywhere. It has (apparently) resurfaced as this stuff: I have some on order. :)

If it were me, I would turn a steel bushing with a light interference on the ID & OD, and press/hammer it in, and call it done. But that's just me. :)

Geez, I thought I was experienced. ;)

Never had one, but the folks who have the cabin next to my back property apparently did, and their grandkids set up targets on the edge of my property and used the balls as slingshot ammo. I find one every now and then. I think I have 4 or 5.
