Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The winch in question is a Warn M5000.

Just wondering if any body here has cut down (shortened the length of the drum) on a Warn M5000 low mount winch ?

If so what is the most you can cut it down by ?

Also has anybody got pix of how they have done it ?

Or even pix of another model/brand low mount winch that they have cut down ?

I am going to do this to a M5000 I have here on the weekend, just trying to get as much info up my sleeve before I strip it down and cut into it on the weekend.

Cheers guys.

whats the plan? why cutting it down? buggy?

hey hypo the only limit is the brake inside the drum cant cut shorter than that obviously apart from that happy chop chop

I cut my T max copy down. I can't remember it being hard. If a simple chippy can do it I think youl be right
