Winch
Seabee_BUC:
Spend the extra 150 bucks for some synthetic line...Soooo much easier to handle and completely repairable (ask me how I know ::) ), and most importantly, safer than wire rope.
rocket:
my smittybuilt also pulled me up the 2nd obstical at OFR, no problemo

Gorrilla was one of them. Exact same winch. Scott has a good point, though. If it only lasts 4 or 5 serious pulls, then it did it's job and it didn't cost $1500 ::) *cough*... Gary. ;D

valid point but last i checked, my handle never fell off and oh yeah, I didnt have to spend 300 dollars to get a winch that winches about half the speed of what mine is rated for and then another 300 to buy an air setup that makes it feel like you're blowing up a tire by mouth... but hey who's to complain right? it's all about what you can afford... ;) If you can wait it out and spend the money once, the dualforce (while expensive .. about 1200ish) is probably your best all around. if you plan down the road to do air as well i'd just wait it out till you could afford it all at once. you'll be much happier. the only problem with mine so far is that when you air up 6 rigs in just under a half hour it tends to drain your battery. Quick answer: Optima Yellow Top and dont air up 6 rigs if you can help it..
Ditto on the synth line. Well worth it for me so far.
Axle:
HA! But I can run both of mine at the same time!
And I don't need an optima yellow top to fill up six rigs. 8)
BOOM, HEADSHOT!!! ;D

Don't forget to factor in about $300 for the electric fan you'll need after putting that monster on the front of your Jeep...
