I'm a professional auto technician. I like to do side jobs and work on my own stuff at home. So I need a way to get the stuff home that I use on a regular basis. So I have two tool boxes. My big one that measures 72.75 wide by 47.5 tall by 29 deep.

And my small one that measures 26.75 wide by 37.5 tall by 19.5 deep, with a chest on top of that.

I put the winch inside my van to get the smaller box into my van without needing help from anybody. The winch I got for $50 at Harbor Freight. Its rated for 2000 lbs. The power wires runs from the battery, through the firewall, under the dash, down the passenger side sill to where you see it mounted.

The wires that run to the winch go up over the headliner. I made studs to mount the electrical from the hand controller with wing nuts to remove it easily. To mount the winch I ran bolts from outside in with nuts securing the bolts to the floor to make studs. Then I secured the winch on the studs with nuts.
