How to build a hitch mount for the badland zxr 12000 lb winch and setup
zxr 12000 lb. truck suv winch with remote control and automatic brake

I decided to build my own hitch mount for the Harbor Freight badland zxr12000 lb winch. This 12000 lb winch will help me pull and lift stuff using the gin pole setup on my truck. I got the winch on sale and will soon install on my 4x4 recovery vehicle. I used the harbor freight Titanium mig 140 welder to do most of the project. I also used my plasma cutter and 911 motorsports stencils. Let me know what you guys think.
