My first idea of a portable whinch kit was maybe a good idea, but it did not hold up for the treatment. It started to bend the constructions.
Why I wanted it portable is because the swedish "MOT" do not alow that kind of equipment. Therefor I need to remove it before I take the Jeep there.
But if I registrate my Jeep as a light truck instead of a family car, there will be no problem whith a whinch in the front. All I have to doo is to remove the rear seat and seatbelt. That will also reduse the road tax to about 50%...
So... This is what´s going on right now:

Not beautiful, but sturdy as a rock... It does not move or twist at all.
And also it is not as heavy as before, about 25% lighter.
Some cosmetic remains to doo.
(Please, if I spell something wrong, let me know. I might learn something...)
Off topic: A family car whith gasolin enginge costs about 2500 SEK/year in road tax, whith a diesel engine in the same vehicle the tax is about 10 000 SEK/year. If that diesel car is registrated to a light truck (Whithout the rear seat) the road tax is about 3000 SEK/year.
1 dollar is allmost 7 SEK.
