SeattleCoug's Black Beauty Build

What kind of winch r u wantin to got Mark? I picked me up one about 3 weeks or so ago and i think it is just as tough as any other winch out their. u want regret gettin one though man. they come in real handy with moving things around at the farm. IDK if u have seen these type but i got a Badland Winch which is 6000lb. all ive done is hooked it up to see if it works. and it does. im havin to make a steel plate and some brakets to hold the winch on the arb bumper. their is so many kinds out their im sure most of them r good winches.

 

I've pretty much decided on getting a WARN m8000. Yeah I figure a winch will come in handy when pulling other rigs out when they get stuck (including myself) and anything else around the house that needs heavy pulling

 

Dude, just went through your thread. Sweet truck. It's got a great look to it!

 

Thanks! I'm doing what I can to it slowly but surely. It's made a pretty good transformation so far. The front Elite plate bumper shoot totally transform it yet again

 

I keep kicking myself for not getting in on the elite GB...but when I don't have money to spend...I don't have money to spend haha. Maybe next time I'll do it.

 

I missed the deadline for the group buy, by 10 days

buuuut after debating for 3-4 weeks I went ahead and ordered one anyway without the GB discount. Sure would've been nice to save $100 though

 

Packed up the truck to go chase Eastern WA desert muleys until Friday and then elk starting Saturday​

 

I will have to say warn is a good winch to go with. why i didnt go wit warn is to me their just to expensive but make hogh quality stuff. thats probobly why their so expensive though. Hahaha!!!!! when i found that Badland i could not pass up the deal with it being 6k an all. thats one reason i went that route. cant wait to see ur elite bumper man. Im stoked for u and want to see it on the truck when installed. anyway man have a good trip.

 

Yeah they do make a good winch, have not heard one bad review of the m8000 ANYWHERE. Oh believe me, there will be lots and lots of pictures

Thanks, I hope to pop a muley in the next couple of days... a spike this weekend, but that's a little harder to come by

 

Well I got the muley part down.

I shot her:


Loaded her into the Taco:

Just ordered a couple of UltraGauges through the Tacoma World group buy!!

 

U'll like the ultraguage man. mine tells so much info that it is crazy. their r so much different displays and settings on that thing. u;ll go crazey. hahaha Thats one big ass muler man u got the other day man.

 

I sure think I will. I'm excited to get it and toy around with it!!
Thanks. I was hoping she would be a little bigger, but I managed to get about 65 pounds of meat off of her. Not bad for a doe though
