winches are for people who don't have friends to go wheeling with...
All Hail the Badlands!

 

i had one of those harbor freight cheapies. it was a real piece.. it worked don't get me wrong there wasn't anything i wasn't able to pull with my (3/4ton truck and 100 ft of cable.but it was the slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwest winch Ive ever dealt with....


curently for my blazer i keep a hi lift and a come along.......

 

Picked up this beauty for $300 with the aid of a 3 day only $299 sale

12,000 lb. Electric Winch with Automatic Brake

Hopfully mount it tommarow

 

I have a come along, a high lift jack, chains and straps. I just got a Ramsey Platinum 9k winch that I need to mount, gotta figure out how I want to do that. I'm thinking about making a custom bumper for the front and rear.

 

I'm rebuilding my Ramsey REP8000 winch that I bought in 1984. And Ramsey still makes all of the parts. Re-stringing it with Amsteel 5/16" rope that I'm splicing up myself. Hidden mount: It doesn't affect ground clearance and acts as a skid plate.

 

any review on that thing? im tempted

 

Ive had it for a year now and still works like new. there have been about 3 instances where I would have been screwed without it. And I have winched many trucks out that couldn't be pulled out. so if your looking for a winch I suggest this one.

 

I have a 9000 lb warn one of the most useful things i have added. I also carry a come-a-long and strap never know when you might need it.

 

made my own winch plate for mine works great post pics soon
