    Fishing line works best...use it as a hand saw behind the lettering to cut through the adhesive.

    I hadn't heard of them either. A buddy of mine recommended it. I did some research and found a winch shootout done by 4wheeleronline. Bottom line: the douche writers at the magazine awarded the win to the Warn winch even though the Engo was One of only two winches (the other was T-Max) that finished the whole competition and the Warn failed on just the second or third test. Not knocking Warn, just the biased fanboy writers.
    Anyway, I got it for $399 and free shipping at 4wheelonline.com. It's easily in the same class as the $1000+ counterparts (I'd argue the best based on that shootout) and now that I bought it I've run into a ton of people that bought the same brand. Maybe it's growing?

    Engo makes a solid winch. I had a 10k with their synthetic line in it on a previous rig. They stand by their product and will fix it if you have any issues without question. Metaltech 4x4 sells the 10k with synthetic for $425 free shipping.

    Agreed. Mine is the E9000S with synthetic rope. Added a Factor55 pro link on it and am all set.

    I'd recommend going 4.80 gearing. Running 35's now and glad I geared down to 4.80.

    Nice lights.. I wanted to go light bar but I got a good deal on a pair of Dually D2 XL.. can't wait to get them inatalled. If I don't like them I could always mount them on my 4 wheeler and get a 20" for the bumper.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, you can always find a place to add lights. The led bar on my bull bar now will probably get installed underneath my truck in the back where my spare tire used to be.. Going to put an air tank and compressor under there so will need a light to connect hoses.. So I'll repurpose that light. :)

    Nice! I like what you've been doing with the camo wrap. Where'd you get it from?
