I like it! Love the way you put it on, so much easier to swap from trailer to truck.Here's the winch mount. I have a receiver welded under the front of the trailer for this to plug into. I have a Ramsey 2500 lb. winch I plan to use.

It's going the wrong way to use on the truck. But I can put on when needed, otherwise it's stored away!I like it! Love the way you put it on, so much easier to swap from trailer to truck.
If longer, wouldn't fit the trailer!If you made the square tube longer then it would work either way.
The winch mount was a spray can job. I bought 2 cans of the matching color in case they were needed.Looking good, Kenny! I really like the receiver idea for the winch!
If the paint uses naptha, there "shouldn't" be any reason why you can't use an automotive type reducer or mineral spirits. Naptha is very fast drying and with the heat you are dealing with down there it may dry coming out of the spray gun! I'm not familiar with that brand of paint though. Maybe it is super slow paint to begin with. We would use naptha in cold weather painting outdoor signs, then use slower drying reducers in warm weather. You would need to do a test and see if it dries too fast. Did you use naptha on the winch mount paint? Seems like you have A/C in your shop? It just sounds odd to use a fast thinner in real hot conditions.

Rain did not get here. Got the stake pockets on. Now for paint. Gotta find a shady spot to do it as Van Sickle does not recommend painting in direct sun!
Good to know!Yep, too hot and the paint doesn't adhere as well and loses gloss.
Here's what Van Sickle recommends for their paint:Looking good, Kenny! I really like the receiver idea for the winch!
