I build winches out of PHX, AZ and can make you a basic, quality winch for $1,000, it WILL use a torque converter and 6.5 hp engine with govenor removed, not a centrifugal clutch. 600' of 1/4" polypropylene rope and handle. My winches are field tested and rider approved. I can make a more elaborate winch for you upon request (cool gussets, wheels, splash guard, hitch mount, etc.), every build is custom. Email phoenixwinch@cox.net for more info.

Can you built specific parts? Like a spool for example? What materials do you use, can you work with aluminum?

I can build parts if that would suit you better than a complete winch. In the past I have used HDPE for spool walls but have found that it is prone to buckle under stress over time. I'm now using 1/2" oak with a water tight stain that looks super classy and it's easy to work with, it has incredible tensile strength and will not buckle. I don't personally work with aluminum but if that's what you wanted I can make it happen, it will increase cost however.
