View Full Version : Will his winch last? Digger196 05-18-2002, 10:25 PM I was at Sam's today and saw this winch. what do ya think? http://www.samsclub.com/eclub/main_shopping.jsp?n=0&oidPath=0%3a-15221%3a-18341%3a621067&coe=0&BV_SessionID=_SC_1033291692.1021777626_CS_&BV_EngineID=ccceadcfehielddcfkfcfkjdgoodflf.0 Digger196 05-18-2002, 10:30 PM Forgot, ok this winch mounts to the ball on the back and is powered by the battery. It can also pull boats onto carrier and do what ever. Jason_25 05-18-2002, 10:59 PM I say don't waste your money. It doesn't even have enough power to tow the weight of your explorer!!! Especially your explorer stuck in the mud. Your truck doesn't have the mods yet to need a winch anyway. Put some big tires and lockers on first then you will be in good shape :D Robb 05-18-2002, 11:04 PM I agree with Jason. My boat trailer power winch looks beefier than that one. Robb Digger196 05-18-2002, 11:10 PM how much does my X weigh anyways. i know i havn't done the mods yet. it's for my best friends jeep and me on the trail. so your saying were better off getting a hi-lift to winch our selves out? Jason_25 05-18-2002, 11:13 PM A high-lift, a tow strap, frame mounted tow hooks, a come-along, a doubler pulley, and tree straps will get you a long way towards recovering your truck. Digger196 05-18-2002, 11:34 PM ok thanks. i'l be getting them this summer jimbo74 05-18-2002, 11:58 PM yeah that winch looks like the realness of my toy truck..... it looks like a huge pos... i would do the hi lift.... it will take a long time but it is damn good.... ahhjaws 05-19-2002, 12:02 AM That thing couldn't even pull my bike out of the mud! Digger196 05-19-2002, 09:29 AM LMAO!!!!!!!!! OK i'm NOT going to buy it, but keep replying, i like making fun if this winch lol |
