Truck Bed Mounted Winch part 2
Testing the newly installed truck bed mounted winch.
2010 Nissan Frontier with a custom truck bed mounted winch. Winch is a tractor supply 2500 lbs atv winch. A harbor freight winch mounting channel sku 90476 and 2500lb synthetic rope were also combined to simplify installation.

the badlands winch plate should fit the winch quite well as I believe the winch itself is also a badlands product. They are pretty good winches for not much money.
Hi, Can you please give me the parts needed for the winch mounting bracket including the size of the bolts/nuts and remote control.
Change the angle of the ramps or place a piece of round PVC pipe under the cable. The nylon outer covering helps prevent chaffing.
nice man , time to winch , liked
Thank you for the cool idea and videos. Question: Did you have to drill any holes in the Badlands mount to install the winch? The center 3 holes on the mount I purchased are 1-7/8" (inner) or 3-5/8" (outer) apart. I purchased a Badlands 2500 pound winch and it did not fit, so wanted to know if you had to modify the mount to work with the Traveller or did it fit those size holes. Tractor supply says the Traveller mount holes are 2.5" apart so that does not seem to work either. Thanks for your help.

BB Scott I made a relief cut for clearance of the winch positive terminal. I may have had to drill one hole to position the winch centered onto the base plate.
Great idea! I have a couple of questions, first who makes the Jump Box and exactly how do you connect it to the winch? I can't tell from the video. Thanks for your help. I'd like to try some variation of this.

For the jumper box its branded as a Schumacher. For daily use I would suggest a group24 deep cycle battery. The jumper box is convenient for my frequency of use. I mounted the power cables to a plastic backer, the backer was attached to the winch base plate. The cables on the plastic backer were held in place by two long bolts, these bolts are what the jumper box cables attached to power the winch.
Wanted to see it come up the ramp…☹️
How do you avoid the cable grinding away the truck tailgate?
First off, that's a very slick idea & it's probably the best use for a bed rail system I've seen so far! I've got a 2005 Nissan Titan with the same bed rail system and I'm looking to do the same. I like your approach because the winch is removable when you need that space back. What specifically did you use as your "battery box"? It looks like a jump starter. If it is what's the specs on the internal battery?

ALEXANDER ROBINSON thank you for the positive feedback. I used a portable jump box model xp400w. It was good for two pulls before it needed a recharge. It served my frequency of use well and most importantly was multipurpose.
How did you attached the winch mount to the bed rails? Did you drill a hole on the truck bed!

Watch part one of the video, I explain briefly how it attached it using the bed rails.
Straight, not curved ramps and the deck might hang up on the tailgate. Backing a Wheel Horse tractor off of a truck once the deck caught one of the ramps which fell to the ground and the tractor flipped backwards to the right. Thankfully I wasn’t on the tractor. Scared the 💩 out of me.
Why did you cut the video before pulling it up the ramp?? DId it work or not??

Part three of the video was lost because of a bad gopro, I had no time or patience after that to record another video. I eventually traded the truck in for a tundra and moved on with life. It did work, the issue I had was the length of the controller wire I wish it was longer or the controller was wireless. The steering on the tractor would need to be adjusted during the pull to maintain ramp alignment.
where did you get the battery?

Tractor Supply, it's a jumper box.
Naaa we didn’t actually need to see it pull the mower up all the way.
Haha
