I've been meaning to take a picture to post my custom setup...I was at the dealer last night and had my H3 parked out front when a customer asked about the winch option. :)

Looks good. Is it a custom or a kit? Now all you need is a stuck Jeep.

Thanks, guys. Yes, the winch is a basic 8000lb winch. The mount is custom made from a guy in Michigan that is having them made from his custom designed template. It fit perfectly and only took 10 mins to install on the front!

Yea, I know! i need a good action shot for th signature!
It is a permanent mount. However, just remove four bolts and it comes right off.

This is the contact information for the winch mount:

Chris Burkhalter
crisb@cbphoto.com

He's out of Michigan so if you buy one from him the shipping price will vary depending on where you live. It's a great mount and it's even pre-drilled for the winch and fairlead to bolt right on!

I finally got my winch mounted also. Fabbed up a custom bracket. Turned out very nice. I've been putting on some serious miles lately so I'll get it cleaned up and get some pics soon!

Yours looks great though! Do you know where in MI that guy is from?
