Well, if “a little is good, then more MUST be better!” …..right?;)

I can’t claim any “intelectual high ground” either……The hoist was an after-thought. Actually, when I built the house, I was a practicing “professional mechanic”, so there was no need for a hoist…..I had plenty of access to hoists. So when I built the house, the "upper part” of the garage was...

No, I decided to mount the winch so that I can use it on the front or back, by disconnecting it from the receiver like a trailer hitch ball mount. See below above for “Bolt face” reference though ;) :p

Now it’s off to the CNC Plasma cutter to knock out the “end caps” from a plate of “mystery metal" Now for the “fun part”……..TIG WELDING!!!!!!!! I clearly need some practice, but it’s dosen’t go too bad. It’s not NASA quality, but it should be “Rhino good-nuff" Sadly though…..The welds...

Hahaha….nope. Thats from working on the car. ;)

Looking good so far……. Now I "test fit” it…….. Its a little tight, but it seems like it fits well. I cut a section of the 2” tube, drill the hole and chamfer it a wee bit, in preparation of a “full weld" I was going to just weld it on, but I figured I best “test install/uninstall”...

So there I am, sweating like a “Whore in church” trying to get my Rhino unstuck from a snow drift while trying to get out on the ice to slay some Perch. Well after about 3 hours of digging-pulling-tugging and such, we finally get her out. So I decide I’m too old for this sh1t…..I need a winch...

Nice work sir! Do you have access to a sandblaster cabinet or some sort of “media blaster”? I know they sell “hand-held” ones, but those sound like they would be pretty messy.

I asked a similar question recently. Lots of choices/opinions. I used Rectum-sealer for my “shop air” ongoing, never ending, always changing project. I have no idea if it’s “the best” or not. But it seems to work plenty good. I was not concerned with “mil specs” nor “aviation...

Send me your address, and I will come over and try to “grow" some for you. Rest assured, there wont be a living Cholla for miles when I’m done “gardening" ;) :ROFLMAO:

I also have one that my friend, who owns a marina, suggested. Not sure if we have the same one or not...

Thats pretty beefy! Well done sir!

I like that Dan. It’s fast and looks sturdy! Now if I was thinking about doing that, 2 questions come to mind initially. 1. Is the "extended length" of that cylinder what stops the cylinder from damaging the levers? Or is there some sort of “over pressure” built into the circuit? 2. What...

Glad everything worked out for you! One thing I will mention about those “rear jack stands” is that you need to account for the “squattting” of the trailer when you set them up. If not, when you load the trailer, you can’t get them out, or remove the pins, cause they are trapped underneath...

The saying around our place, for any gardening activity, is………... “If it grows………….we can kill it";)

Pics would be great. In that video though, I do not see the actuator attached to anything. It kind of “floats” in the middle, first unlocking the right side, then unlocking the left. I have never played with one of those actuators before, but here is my initial thought. If the actuator was...

I have had good/bad experiences with all the “Big Players” at some point and time. I will say this though, percentage wise, I think they do ok. I order the vast majority of what I buy, so our delivery guys are at my doorstep often…..very often……. Hell, I might try to claim our “Amazon guy”...

I think it’s a great idea. I also think a “generic cylinder” would be a less expensive route as well. (unless you already have one…..obviously;))

Love it my man! I have plans to do something similar. In my head, the actuator needed to be fixed (via a bracket or something)….but apparently not. Just "thinking outloud” here…….I wonder if affixing the actuator would speed things up?

And remember sir,…… Pics, or it didn’t happen ;)
