Personally, I wouldn't worry about the underside of the wood. Most trailer decks rot from the top only. I know of many people that actually flip the wood over once the top starts getting soft.

Also got the winch a few weeks ago. It was on sale for ITC an they did a $25 off coupon that you could stack so I went ahead an grabbed it. That allowed me to get the 2 yr warranty on it for nearly free. I think I'll probably have to add another fairlead to the front. The one that came with the winch is smaller an I needed the plate it came with for the height :doh2:

I like this because everything is self contained an I made the plate to mount the controls. Upgraded the cables to 6 gauge real copper today. Saw where HF uses copper clad aluminum for their wires so I didn't want to leave that. Once I get my wiring for the truck side I'll replace the last 2 from the winch kit.

Almost used it today on a cheap 80 short fleet I found but there was 1 bad picture an it was back in the woods so of course it was RUSTY. Had to leave it as the guy wasn't to happy with my offer but it had very few usable parts :sad72:
