great winch prices

[Axle]

Congrats, Rocket!  One of these days I'll be able to join the winch ranks.


Is it the XRC-8?  If so, I will be interested to see how she holds up on the trails.  I was also looking at that one.

[rocket]

It is the XRC-8.  I read as much in random forums as i could find about it.  only 2 complaints i noticed:

1. its slow.  i can deal with that.  i dont' think i need toxic speed (warn) for what i do.
2. big, ugly sticker on it.  who cares?

everyone says it works well, and hasn't failed them.  and if it breaks after 2 years, i'll get another one, or rebuild it.  I'll still be ahead vice buying a name-brand one.

that's everything I've heard from multiple sources as well.

it's not the right winch if you plan on always being the good Samaritan trail leader who winches every rig over an obstacle, but if you're just looking to get yourself or the rig behind you out of a jam from time to time, it's worth the price.

[rocket]

Thats all i'm looking to do.  I'll help when i can, but i don't plan on being like dave and winching 10 rigs at a time.

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

Now I know someone else saw this and that I am not the only one.  Can't be.  I mean it is just too perfect.  No, no, it is too easy.  I will just leave it alone.

Congrats on the winch.  Uuumm so like I'm stuck in the mud, could you come and get me?

sometimes i just have to put something out, if for no other reason than to see if y'all acutally read my posts!  LOL

i refrained actually. i was handing them out all night at the meeting. so i figured i'd cool it for a bit.

[rocket]

i appreciate it!

Ok, so as not to start another thread, I had been seriously thinking of getting the all pro bolt-on sliders.  they are on sale from 350 to 300.  If i found out i needed to weld them, i could (or get scott/doball to).  I then found out shipping is $115!!  Other shipping quotes i got were about the same for other sliders, and based on weight, they aren't trying to rip me off.  WabFab makes a kit: DOM, 80", rear kick-out where the legs/plates/gussets all have to be welded.  The kit is 220 plus 70 shipping.  I'm thinking that may be the better way to go.  Scott and his welder can do the welding (already talked to him).  any opinions? (stupid question on this forum, i know ) 

Also, Scott might be able to help me build a bed bar to mount reverse lights and hi-lift, scheduel depending.  It will be similar to the one on ATArmor.com  it will have mounting spots for hi-lift, lights, and antennas.

well 4xinnovations i only paid 165 for everything, and it only took a few hours to get them welded on.

too easy, back when I was newer to the game I would have commented on that.  But that was too easy it wouldn't have been fun. 








HAHAHAHAHA HE SAID "FILL A HOLE"

[ToxicTurtle]

I'd check out Rock Hard Off Road. Talk to Jamon. He's doing up an exo on the Turtle. He can set you up with some nice stuff. he runs a white 4Runner. www.rockhardoffroad.com
They are located in Wallingford, CT about 3 minutes from my garage.

Talk soon,

great web site!!!!!!!!!


e-mailed them for a front bumper

[rocket]

Its here!  my smittbult winch just came in :D  now to get it on. . .

[HOT-ROD]

pic's?

[rocket]

Here are the pics:

Installed, finally!


I had to fab a bracet to move the mounting location of the relays up and forward so the grill would fit back on.  it still needs paint, i know.  The wires were pre-connected and I don't have the proper gage wire to hide the box under the hood.  I'll get to it someday (about the time i rig up a cab control switch)   there is a perfect place by the master cylinder.


I still needed a license plate here in CT, so some mag light mounting clips and 2 framing gussets (got the idea from TTORA)


the remote even lights up!


the winch and bumper add 10" to the front of my truck!
