i'm sure glad i had my winch tonight!

i had to drag my busted-***, siezed rear drums, Jetta onto my trailer earlier tonight.

was going to resurrect it, but after i ripped out the rear frame rail & factory recovery point on it, i just winched it up onto the trailer, probably gonna send it to the recyclers.


ya for the big 9000lb winch. saved my *** tonight.

Now that's a winch boys and girls.

I've got a winch, but it's in the closet until I weld me up some receiver hitches for the front and back with a pinned mounting plate.

I have an 8500 lb SUPERWINCH.
Considering my Blazer snowcat weighs in around 8000 lbs and of course the particular resistance when you are winching it has been amazing. I use one pulley block with it.
I blew my rear end a couple years back and i had to winch it 500 yards back to my place. I did it over two days, about 75 feet at a time, cabling to every tree along the way but it did it, and the winch never burned out! I did realise I need an auxillary battery if I really wanted to speed thing up. I would have to let the engine idle and charge battery without winching once in awhile.

I bought the winch on sale at a store here in Canada called Princess Auto. It was such an amazing cheap price I didnt think I could go wrong. $329.00! It owes me nothing after that escapade!
