Re: It was "In the making" but now "It's made"
I could not stand that ugly steering wheel any longer and thanks to ebay i have a perfect one now. It came in the mail today but i had to wait till i got off work to install it. I put it on using a drop light.

Re: It was "In the making" but now "It's made"
Oh i know, but i spent good money for this one. It will stay i guess due to the up sides of having it. It is bent away from the top which makes the top easier to get on and off. I dont think i will ever put lights up there but if i do they can be folded down out of the way when not in use. the whole top of the bar can pivot.AJ Quick wrote:Looks great!

Re: It was "In the making" but now "It's made"
I think i have finally scored a winch but it is in Florida and the shipping will suck. I am going to pay $250 for the rep 6000 so the price is right. It has a late model blue sticker on the motor so i will need to talk to you guys about making a round silver one. I am planing on masking the other stickers off to paint the hole thing and i will try to get by with polishing the chrome rods but i bet they need redone. I had a chrome bumper once that started to rust. I polished it up real nice but it rusted back super fast.

Re: It was "In the making" but now "It's made"
It was on ebay, they were selling it mounted to a brush guard. I asked the seller if they would take the winch off and just sell it by its self and they said yes. It has what i think is a late model rep 6000 sticker and the paint is kinda bad but this is expected. I will post pics. the ebay pic might still be up. I will check.

I will have to put some resto work into it. Do you guys think i should change the cable out? I dont know how long it will take a new cable to look like the one that is already on it. I think i will run into town tomorrow and check prices on a new cable when i order a mounting plate.
That brings me to a new topic...Mounting plate does and donts? I was thinking about buying a cheap china made one as long as it doesnt have a bunch of holes all in it.

Re: It was "In the making" but now "It's made"
It worked out where the seller didnt want to sell the winch outside of ebay after the first auction ended so they put a second auction up with a flat rate $45 dollar shipping charge. That seems like a good price but I never had the shipping quoted. We had previously discussed a $250 price tag but whatever!? Turns out he gave me my $100 overage charge back because i was suppose to do a best offer price of $250. I do not understand the best offer concept and how it works. I didnt want this one to slip through my fingers like the last one i found so i bought it now right when it went live. Anyways for $295 if it works i can make it look almost new again.

Re: It was "In the making" but now "It's made"
I went into Tulsa today looking to find a mounting plate and info on a replacement cable for the winch.I found out, that only a Ramsey plate will work with the rep 6000 due to the location of the control pack. Lucky me found a old dusty box at Sams off road. Sams has been a Ramsey dealer long before they went bankrupt and just happened to have one plate left. (New in the box) To sweat'n the deal he gave me a hawse fairlead. He says no one uses those things anymore.
Now i need to get those big bolts out to mount this thing.
