I have a HS9500i that I'd like to put on my HD and was wondering if anyone else has done it and would like some suggestions. Thanks

Gradyghost 10-23-2003, 08:23 PM 15000lb with a trans4mer mount from WARN. Check out the pics. silvermax 10-23-2003, 08:31 PM Looks great Gradyghost, is it pretty sturdy? If you dont mind me asking where and how mant beans did it set ya back? Gradyghost 10-23-2003, 08:46 PM Silvermax....Thanks for the compliment.....Its is one sturdy unit. There is alot of metal attached underneath. It hooks onto the frame and has cross members too. I have yanked out some heavy vehicles out of the mud. I have even pulled my own truck (with trailer attached) out of the mud. But mostly its used to pull other vehicles out of the mud. I had to go to Jersey to locate the winch and mounting system(the 15000 was brand new and had to be special ordered and the trans4mer was reconfigured to fit the new style GM's in 2001) If you go to www.warn.com (http://www.warn.com) you can locate a local 4 wheeling store that will be happy to install and sell you the stuff. JEBar 10-24-2003, 06:42 AM Have the same winch on my truck as Gradyghost ... did choose a different cow catcher, mine is stainless with an additional bar in the headlight area .... have pulled some very heavy loads with it and she has handled them well .... Jim silvermax 10-24-2003, 08:37 AM Do you have any pics JEBar or a link that I could see it? I had a tranformer system a few yrs ago on my 1500 Z71 and it wasnt very sturdy and the brush guard around the headlights always worked loose and I had to retighten them all the time,when I used my winch it would move the whole assembly maybe they have done something differant since then. the ponz 10-25-2003, 08:41 PM I had a company truck in Texas that had the winch mounted on a receiver hitch. The truck had a trailer hitch mounted on both the front and rear bumper. The driver could mount the hitch at either end of the truck. Worked very well.

Silvermax ... Unfortunately I do not have the equipment to send/post pictures. If you will send me a PM with your address I will be happy to take a regular 33mm photo and mail it to you. My mount has been extremely stable, in over 40,000 miles I haven't had to retighten a single bolt. Jim | ||
