Hope she is not on TW

 

That’s a great winch

 

That ain't even funny i will know soon if she is.

 

I wasn't planning to get a winch so soon but at that price I couldn't say no

 

It will work great for you

 

Great price

 

I think you mean wench.

Nice winch. I think Taco owners need to run 12k winches instead of 8k because of the prevalence of overweight overlander trucks. I'm one of them and I've recovered a loaded truck with a GFC, a decked out PreRunner and myself twice. Using hindsight, a 12k is better overall for the variation in Tacoma configurations.

 

Do you carry extra cable and snatch blocks

 

I have the complete ARB Premium Recovery bag plus additional shackles and tree savers. No extra cable, but I'm using the Smittybilt Synthetic 100' Winch Rope on my Warn M8000 winch.

 

I totally agree, I was only going to get the 10k winch but for the price of a 10k winch for a 12k winch I really couldn't say no. My fat pig of a 4Runner with the overland gear not including the steel front bumper and rear swing gate bumper doesn't help either.

 

Winch Wench Wonch all the same

 

Is that like a cock block?

 

Jenn's up late too.

 

My Warn M8000 is still going strong, but all things considered, I'm pushing the limits on my winch before others get involved. I'm not trying to hit 100% duty cycle loads, either.

I like Wonch. I'm stealing that.

 

Nah, it's a force multiplier.

 

Yeah I like to keep it at 80% load max. Most electric motors are usually calculated for that percentage.

 

Alot of people really don't get that either
They just see the Max capacity.
