The Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland)

Lol no I could of got a new one for that price 4 wheel parts had them for $249 not too long ago

 

Could have....

 

I wasn't looking for one at that time

 

I'll make sure I save you the turkey neck

 

Did you already upgrade springs? That winch is about 80 lbs

 

Start using a snatch block and you won't have to worry about the winch getting so hot.

 

True.

 

But Dennis logic!

To hell with mechanical advantage.

 

I've already been researching this subject for quite some time. It will really be determined by what you will require your winch to do for you. I have listed several below that have peeked my interest but I'm sure I will go with something more than I need, just because......Well look at my screen name, lol.

Bulldog Winches
Engo Winches
Kodiak Winches
Superwinch
T-Max Winches
Mile Marker Winches
Rugged Ridge Winches
TJM Winches
Ramsey Winches

 

Yup installed a new OME kit about a month ago

 

Thats almost every winch out there lol choose 2 and then I'll pick the one you don't buy

 

Go read that winch showdown article. Narrows it down to about 3.

 

Superwinch, Mile Marker or Warn. Those are the ones that I'm leaning to.

 

It's a great review but leaves some key players out. Check it out though. It will give you some insight as to what to look for when purchasing a winch.

 

Don't get stuck and you won't need a winch

 

But what if you decide to go swimming again

 

You won't be there in time to save me

 

Plus I'll just let the truck go by that time. Say my good byes

 

I got the Smittybilt 8k and then switched the line out for synthetic. I've used it for vehicle recovery of myself/others about 5 times but I lost track of how much crap I've moved with it clearing trails and land. I think I've had it for 3 years now and its still kicking. I would suggest going with the 10k though, I think that's the next size up. Get that with syncthic line and a good recovery kit and you'll be able to get out of 99% of situations....unless you pull a Dennis

Good idea! I really need to run cables to my rear so I can use my cradled winch in the back as well.

Dont forget smittybilt! Also you can go crazy fancy and get one of those ComeUp winches. BoxRocket did a nice review on them, they're about as expensive as Warns I believe.

 

Didn't mean to leave Smith built off the list, we had just already talked about then. Those ComeUp winches are supposed to be bad ads. I forgot about those.
