I mounted my winch a bit uncoventionally and I love it. I mounted a receiver tube (like on the back of your truck) in the bed of my trailer. I then mounted the winch onto a drawbar. This allows for me to take the winch out of the weather and lockit up as well. I also can slide it into the rear of my truck in case I need to winch myself out of something. (Did that this past winter in a slushy field) I made a pigtail with battery clips that is long enough to reach my truck battery for this. Ordinarily the winch is powered by an auto battery I keep in the front toolbox. In the back of the toolbox is a trolling motor plug and it matches a pigtail on the winch. To keep the battery charged I ran a charging wire through my trailer plug in using the accessory pin. It works great. If you want any pics just let me know. I also got a wireless remote system for it and that works slick too. I can operate the winch anywhere within 50 feet. I always got a bit nervous being close to the cable sometimes.
