Abstract:
A control arrangement is provided for an integrated compressor and winch assembly. The integrated assembly includes: a clutch mechanically coupled to an electric motor and selectively engageable with at least one of a compressor or a winch mechanism; an electrical control circuit having an operational mode for controlling the compressor and another operational mode for controlling the winch mechanism; and a mode selector in communication with the clutch and the electrical control circuit, whereby actuating the mode selector actuates the clutch and selects an operational mode for the control circuit.
A vehicle having a brush and grill guard fabricated to blend with the contour of the vehicle so that the design features of the vehicle are not compromised. Frame extensions are mounted to the frame and support a pair of vertical support plates. A winch carrier and winch mounted thereon are optionally mounted to the support plates or directly to the vehicle frame. A fascia configured as a compound curve is fitted to the vertical plates and has a removable cover to hide the winch from view when not in use. An exposed edge of the vertical plates and/or the fascia are provided with a protective and visual enhancing elastomer strip molded to the edge.
