I think i might go for it.  Thats cheaper than a habor freight one!

remember.. you get what you pay for.
I can and have winched 10 rigs up a very steep hill with my Warn 8274 and it didn't miss a beat. Its quick and very strong.
Its also about $1100 ( I got a great deal on it for less than $800)
Up close it looks like a Ramsey take off. The worst thing is to really need your winch and have it crap out on ya.
The deal on the Warn they have on the front page is also a killer deal.
thats my opinion... and I'm stickin to it...

I must be slow on seeing things but, Toxic I love you signature that is awesome.

Back on topic.

I've seen your winch in action, Dave, but i don't have that kind of $ to throw at something i will hardly use.  i do believe in quality, but for 1100, i can get sliders, skids, and a winch!

So how soon are you looking at putting in a winch, Rocket?

[rocket]

probably w/ my income tax return, so order in the next week or so.  same w/ my sliders.

Do winches come w/ all the wiring needed to install them, or will i have to get that seperate?

It will come with all the wires to hook it up normally so you can use the handheld remote to operate it. However, I highly reccommend this: http://12voltguy.com/incabwinch.htm
The beauty of it is that it doesn't disable the use of the handheld if you still want to use it. I like being able to winch from in the cab incase I need to be turning the tires, steering, and winching at the same time...

I was looking at that, Jon told me about him.  looks cool.  i also saw http://www.yotatech.com/~corey/tech/transalper_incab_winch_control/transalper.htm were it also would look pretty good (I'd have to find a good spot to mount that switch).

And since Scott and JD have had good luck w/ the Chicago Electric, I'm not scared to take a chance w/ a cheap winch.

[HOT-ROD]

be sure to properly spool it first and get comfortable with it and know it's capabilities. also i would get one of the synthetic lines that was posted and was rated to about 16,000 lbs i think....

[rocket]

hot-rod, do you still want a winch like toxic's?

$500

That's a great deal!!!!     

[HOT-ROD]

yeah, but i have to wait for a while till we figure out all our finances tofigure out what i want to do. plus i am saving quite a bit.

[rocket]

Saving is VERY smart.  Better than having a winch.

I just ordered my winch.  The smittybilt one from winch depot.  :D  I can't wait to fill that hole!
