i have a milemarker 10500lb 2spd hydraulic that i need to mount to my CJ just have to find a good source to run it off of...........no power steering......thinking of just getting an OEM replacement powersteering pump and mounting in the engine to run it off of any one else attempted this???
 

didnt you post this the other day?
but anyways the easiest thing by far would be to sell it or trade it for an electric winch.

I know nothing about a Hydraulic winch so I have not the answer, but I would contact the milemarker folks and ask for help! I am sure it will not be the first time it has been ask of them. Good Luck! tug
 
I'm not too sure, but I think milemarker uses your exsisting power steering pump. So in answer to your question, Yes, I would install a power steering pump just to run your winch. And since you don't have power steering, maybe you could either upgrade your steering or perhaps install an electric clutch to the pump so that you are not running it all the time when you are not using the winch.

Hope this helps.
