But the question I would like answering is not whether you have swapped a winch for a heavier engine. Its what does the total thing weigh, complete with all the massive bits of stuff you have welded for it
Put it on a weighbridge and then compare to a completely standard vehicle.
Then remember that the dammed things didn't stop that well when they were new![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

And certainly not if you were going down steep hills and the brakes heated up.
I'm up for a photoshoot I'll stand at the top of Hard Knott and Wrynose when you test your theory![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
