I'll be waiting to see the mods.......you know like 'flaps and wings' and I'm not talkin' about a plane either
Nice score Dean =D> oh,.......
How do you get power to the back of the van for an larger(8000lb) winch without running welding cable or the like? :-k

Thanks Jim.
The only way is to either run very large cable or install a second battery and run some smaller wires to the alternator.
The other option is to a mid-mount winch and run the cable to both ends with a setup that allows you to lock either end and pull the other. You only need to use up about 20' of the cable.

Wow - that looks big! And the fancy work lights - WAY cool ... Dean I think this coming year with snow you should mount a video cam and get a clip up

That looks like something that fell off a snow plow. The state of NY may want that back.

That's pretty cool. Pretty simple in design too.

I didn't get the "big one" because he only had 2 of these little ones!

Nice score. Decent plow too. My buddy works for a snow removal company and they run those exact plows on their trucks.
