    Welded up some brackets and installed winch today, seems to work pretty good, got sent the wrong bullbars so have sent them back and awaiting correct ones, put some decent flood lights on and wired them up through a relay to come on high beam only, have a spotlight with a handlebar mount coming, along with some rifle mounts. Might throw a set of new tyres at it and I reckon she's ready to go hunting.

    Winch on a quad....
    A few years back suzuki brought out a green 750 it came with a free winch as a sales pitch.
    We trade them every 2 years as it costs fark all and anyhow there was brand new one in the shed, we had a big night the boat got pushed a fair way out.
    When I got up the next morning the quad was halfway up the tree on the front lawn!

    I think a set of good aggressive tyre is more important. Never had a winch on any of my bikes or work ones and we worked on some remote ,shit places.
    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.
