You can get a new xrc8 for less than that. Several of us have them and they work great.

 

Nice photos!

12Tac

 

He finally posted a pic of the label and it is a REW8000. I did a little research and I think this is a former Harbor freight item! for $550 used! And he listed it as a Warn! Wow, I wish I would have taken advantage of the 4x4parts.com sale on the xrc8 when I had the chance.
I will find another good deal soon enough. If you all could keep an eye out for me, that would be great. the lighter the better since I will be keeping it on a hitch mount winch plate and will keep it in the bed until I need it to avoid weather wear and unnecessary weight.

 

Xrc8 is plenty of winch for our trucks and most any winching jobs you'll be doing. Luckily I found mine for a steal on CL. You should be able to find one for ~200 used.

 

you're welcome to check out mine when i get it mounted and do a few test runs next week

 

Love my mile marker se12000... just throwing it out there

 

I was thinking about the xrc8 comp cuz I thought the synthetic line would make it lighter, but not so sure what the deal is cuz 4wheel parts has the comp listed at 94lbs where the regular is 80 lbs. maybe they mixed them up.

Deal! you got all kinds of goodies! You going to Moab for the meet?

Too much for my bumper I think. Probably really heavy too. That is sweet though.

 

They have the 12000 pound winch on sale for $399 at Harbor freight right now!

I think the 9000 was $350. But I would probably go with

$553 Superwinch 1595200 Tiger Shark 9500 12V DC Winch 9500lb(4309kg) Single Line Pull with Roller Fairlead 21/64" x 95' Steel Wire Rope Corded Handheld Remote

this SuperWinch off Amazon...

 

You can put the syn line in either.

 

The comp doesn't already have the synthetic?

It does but the price reflects it. All in what you want to spend.

 

Not sure if you saw my post in the live thread but yes, the FR-S is beyond worth it. And I pay less on the FR-S then I did on the truck....

 

????

Changing the subject?

 

There are no set subjects in the BS thread, let alone TW itself...

 

Indeed i do. Truck is going to look like a whole new animal.

Hell yes I am going! I have had a list on my whiteboard of things i need to have done by then since August.

I was actually there at the same time as the meet last year with my dirt bikes. Long story short.... my buddy left the keys on the wheel well and i was permanently attached to my trailer after that

 

You need to come help me get a whiteboard going so that I can prioritize! That and we can drink some beer too!

 

on that "subject"


anyone want to lend a garage with some heat, I need to get my r/p bushings on

Edit : beer somewhere in there

 

Can do! That's exactly why I got mine. Funny though, I keep crossing off things but the list isn't getting any smaller.

 

In the process of repacking the grease in my xrc8. (They're known for having terrible grease from the manufacturer.) It has a 100ft synthetic line/hook from Viking Offroad that goes for $275 new by itself. Would let the xrc8 and line go for $300 of you're interested.

 

Wanna get high?
