Well, after a few weeks work (little by little) all the jobs are done.

Such as:
- Install Winch
- Move the control box to the engine bay
- Install a relay for the winch (12V 200A) controlled from inside
- Install front and rear cameras

Like my daughter told me, this Maverick is hold together with zip ties... lot's of them...

Some photos.

Isn't it good looking?

Now the rear sits higher then the front, due to the weight from the winch.

Should i increase the height of the front (torsion bars) or reduce the rear (switching springs) ?



Comments?

Yes wind the bars up a tad, but is your winch really that heavy? my winch and bumper weighs 100Kg so changed the springs, Rick

The winch has synthetic rope, so it should weight around 30Kg plus mounting plate.

Next weekend i will give the bars a little bit more, to see how it seats.
