thinking of building a front reciever for my jimmy that i could mount a winch into, then set up the truck to use it front or rear.  does anyone have any opinions on ramsey winches??  quadratech sells a 8500lb one for 400 seems like a good deal.  i'm also considering using the mount system for the zuki so i can have the winch for either vehicle.

Harbor Freight 8000lb. is $299 and I've pulled NUMEROUS times with it in all conditions and it worked great. I'll be buying one for the FJ as soon as I get my bumper built...If it ever burns out it's easy on the wallet for the replacement... But $400 bones isn't bad for a brand name winch...

Kevin posted this the other day in the vendor area on GL4x4. He's the owner of Jeeperz-Creeperz and a good friend of mine. Rugged Ridge is coming out with a line of winches and this one looks good. I like the idea of a larger motor so it doesn't have to work quite as hard.

JP mag did a winch shoot out a few months ago and they really likes the mile marker PE 8000, which sells on sale for $399.  They said it is slow (like the Harbor Freight) but pulls all day.  The Harbor Freight like Scott has on JD's Jeep, has been rumored to be a Mile Marker Re-badge.

a lot of us are running the smittybuilt, i've never had a problem.  it is $300 + 10 shipping at winchdepot.com.  never heard anything bad about it; save the $100 put it towards synth line
