At least we all have parts that exist to take pics of

 

It's like buying a generator for a house, spending a chunk of money on something you hope you don't need.

If it wasnt steel cable

 

Could do a rebuild...but then adding synthetic line is $$

 

If I still lived in Logan it’d be more tempting

 

I see houses for sale in Stockton CA for $70,000 or less.

Synthetic rope and wireless remotes almost make winching almost fun.

 

"Almost"
I'm sold on the wireless remotes though.

 

I've run the winch from behind the wheel to pull myself out. That was convenient.

 

Looks at HF Apex*

 

Zeon? (If memory serves)

 

Stockton is the Gary, Indiana of California

 

Smitty X20 12k. Amazon was having a pre-Labor Day sale with a $499 price. Then went to my local 4wheelpart store where they had it in stock and bought it for an Amazon price match. Then got their extended protection plan warranty for $71.

I think my bumper is rated for an 8k winch, so it's way more than I need. It works out ok on the LX470 with an ARB bumper because I can open the hood and expose the clutch control. Otherwise, with an ARB bumper, you need a Warn with 8 clock positions to get the clutch handle where you can easily reach it.

At the time I needed to buy so much to finish the build, that a $500 winch was welcome compared to one that was $1,500 and considered Warn bling. I took the $1,000 and bought some White Knuckle Off-Road sliders that I really enjoy. I can always dress it up with some Factor 55 if anybody cares..

The part of the state where I live and go offroad isn't plussed by a Gucci recovery bag like some places. Ha!

I see that Smitty X20 winch is op over $700 now. I think people figured out it must be a decent winch.

Looks like some fun.

 

Find me a nice white MR2 w/ manual and I'll trade for it

Straight up!

 

If it were a 3SGTE I'd keep it myself
