Making a cameo here quick. I am looking into buying a new winch. I want to get rid of mine. I would like to get like $200. Everyone that has seen me wheel knows that it has a couple cracks on the top bars (used to keep cable on the spool). These are easily worked around. If anyone wants any pics just let me know.
I may also have a set of stock '05 4.0L (6 Cyl.) Exhaust manifolds up for sale if anyone needs a set. For those price is ..... yeah.
-
what kind of winch?
-
make/model/pics? I'm interested!
-
looking though the pic archive, it looks like a mile marker. not sure which model though.
I'll give you $150 :)
-
151
-
hahaha.
$175 if it's an 8000 or greater
staying at $150 if not... :)
-
also, assuming it comes with the line?
how about the fairlead?
-
You can have it, al. I dont' want to get into it w/ you (i'm sure i would loose, unless JD helped me out) :D
-
well, I don't think I'm willing to pay $200 ... but I guess it depends on what model it is.
-
If it wasn't cracked, i'd go for it, but a new winch can be had for $300. Not a warn, but one similar to JD's
-
right, that's why I'd have a hard time paying $200 unless it's something kinda special
-
it's a milemarker- 9500 pound not exactly sure the model number- you can go to milemarker.com and find it. it is the one that has the non-integrated solenoids. Here is a link link to the winch.

yeah, if it's actually that one, and if it comes with the line and the roller fairlead, then it's like a $550 winch, so I'm sure it's worth every pennie of $200
-
It is an awesome winch like Brian said it has a couple cracks but nothing that will effect the performance. If you need any more convincing here is a vid to prove it is awesome, and yes that is me and my old Jeep in the video. Brian 5% commision for helping you sell it seems fair :D.

The one that Cheeks showed is the one. It would come with the fairlead and the cable but the cable is kinda poop. It has some kinks in it. And like I said the two bars on top are broke. The next time we go out I will show all who are interested. I'm not going to buy the new winch like tomorrow so everyone can unlax a bit. hahahah you mo fo's is crazy.
HAHAHA wish I had the vid of me pulling Matt's ass out, that was AWESOME!!!
-
i'm interested. I want to see.
-
Which one are you buying?
-
Here you go Brian although this isn't on topic and isn't you winch but you requested it and I found it on my computer.

we could have used the winch sunday, right jon? LOL
-
Yeah, what gives, Brian? Are you upgrading? And when are you finally going to have time to make a "cameo" apperance when we wheel? You're like a ghost lately!
-
we could have used the winch sunday, right jon? LOL
I was only 5 min away and I have a winch you could have called.
-
Back on topic.
-
Yeah, I am going to get the SI9500 as aposed the the SE9500 and with the money that I get for my old one am going to get synthetic rope for it also.

That is sweet dude.
-
Here is pic of the winch before it got cracked, so I circled in yellow where ther cracks are.
(http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s191/jt4X4/Brian%20O/Brian%20O%20Pics/BMWinch.jpg)
-
what's the difference between the SI and SE?
-
Mostly the integrated solenoid.
-
There isn't much of a difference. I am probably going to get the headers first and then the winch afterwards. I just wanted to know if there would be anyone interested in grabbing it before I ask elsewere. Tiss all. I mean it works great, even with the cracks. It was cracked during our trip to Mohawk Trails and it pulled a Hummer and the big ass Wagoneer up that last BIG obstacle. AND (Sorry scott), it pulled that ass nugget out from behind Wal-Mart the other yellow Jeep with a winch couldn't.....after J.D.'s line snapped!!!
Boom Headshot!!!
-
I keep claiming I don't need no stinking winch, but it might be handy next time I wheel with al
-
I'm deffinalty interested in it. Let me know when you want to sell it. It will be perfect for my new bumper (if it ever gets here :( )

It WAS pulling and moving that ass nugget just fine until the line snapped... Just for clarification...that Chicago Electric winch we have is what I'd like to call.....shall I say.... cost effective. If it works for 10-15 crucial pulls then it paid for itself, and if it doesn't work on the 16th, I'll be fine spending another $300 bucks for another one...It does the same thing the $1000 winches do, maybe not as fast, but hey it does the trick. And my winch plate is already set up for another on should this one ever crap out...

I've got to say, that personally, having done quite a bit of wheeling in the past 3 or 4 years with organized groups, I have never before (before Sunday) gotten stuck in a manner in which it would have been quicker and easier to have a winch rather than just getting a tug with a tow strap from another vehicle.
So, although winch's are cool an all, if you are only doing legal organized wheeling in groups, then it is rarely a necessity. Especially before you get into really extreme stuff.
I plan on buying a winch for the tracker first, long before buying one for the yj, and I'm thinking at for the size and weight of the tracker, this winch is probably overkill for me.
-
nah......... bigger is better.
-
hahaha

Those who went on OFR last summer can attest to needing a winch. In a downpour and dark 1/2 way into the trail, there is no way a simple tug with a strap would have gotten even smaller rigs like a Wrangler up these ledges, let alone the 6500lb H2's that were with us! I agree however a strap is almost always faster but there will be times a winch is the right tool for the job...

I was thinking the same thing. That first ledge (dry/daylight) where axel earned his name, none of the hummers could make it up w/o a winch. I think we ended up winching Axle, too.
-
most people just get a tug through there. it's amazing how little help you usually need. especially on a climb like that, usually the problem is just not enough traction, often a single person with a tow strap can provide enough pulling force to aid in traction enough. (human powered)
-
yeah, i def remember that trail, i was the winch man. soaked to the bone. rain on new england rocks sucks. might as well coated the whole trail in KY.
winch ended up being fastest esp for the hummers.
-
Hey Rocket, I won't be buying a new winch any time soon (see "Mohrbicon" Upgrades thread) because of cash issues. When I do decide to upgrade the winch if you haven't bought one already I will ask you first if you want it. Sorry for any inconvenience.
-
no inconvinence. I'm only quasi-in-the-market for one. I'm keeping my eyes open for a good deal, but in no hurry.
-
I'm probably going to end up buying the $299 smittybuilt for the tracker, and then after that, I may be in the market for something larger/beefier for the yj
I also need skids for the yj, oil pan and tranny pan for the yj, front axle 3rd member for the tracker
OH THE MONEY! WHY DOESN'T IT GROW ON TREES?
Had anybody/everybody heard about this proposed tax rebate that the government is working on? :)
-
no, do tell!
-
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080118/ap_on_go_pr_wh/economy_stimulus (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080118/ap_on_go_pr_wh/economy_stimulus)
to sum it up, the fed thing we're heading for a recession, and as an economic stimulus, they are considering a tax rebate for lower to middle class, of between $500 and $800 for individuals, and as much as $1600 for married couples
-
w/ $800, i could get my siders and skids! that would boost the economy!
-
um yeah.
-
So is that an additional refund to the normal refund we get? Sorry, I didn't read the article.
-
yes, they are talking about an across the board "refund" as opposed to the standard "return" that many of us get, which is actually just the government returning the money which was ours, and we stupidly overpaid to begin with rather than investing it, and instead we let the government invest it, and keep the interest. :)
-
Gotcha. Well, if they want to give me more money on top of what they owe me, then more power to 'em. That's a winch, sliders, and a rear bumper with a tire carrier!
-
just skid and bumper for me
