so, through a comedy of errors and an overreliance on my local shop, I’ve ended up with two working winches (and one not so working solenoid which is about to be replaced). first winch is a superwinch 3000# (not sure on the model at the moment) and the new one off of craigslist is a warn a2500.

so….not wanting to throw a working thing away, I thought it might be possible to mount one of the winches on the rear of my fourwheeler (2012 rancher AT). has anyone done this? any ideas of what parts of the rear frame that are exposed in the IRS models that would be safe to winch from? I’m thinking of having a heavy duty selector switch to be able to use the one solenoid to drive either winch after selecting which one the output of the solenoid goes to. does that sound reasonable? pictures/diagrams welcome!
