What Winch should I get?

[Stic-o]

So there's a pretty good chance I may sell the B2 this weekend, I have a pretty motivated buyer coming. The wife said I could use some of the money for winch though So I got around $500 bucks or a little more to get one. Looking for a 9-10k I belive

Unless I can find a used Warn somewhere, I don't see that one working. So that leaves me with a T-maxx(summit uses these) Mile marker, or maybe a Superwinch, but that's a little more.

Thoughts Please?

T-maxx. Then you can change it to "T-Rexx".

Where are you working now?

No help from me seeing as I am debating a similar question..."Which winch to get?" but section's comment made me giggle quite a bit

Too funny! Not a bad idea though

Still a shoe company, called WSS. I buy athletic shoes now


Also I could get a Tabor which is by warn.

i would say a Warn 9.5 HSi, but you looking at a lower budget

Seems like it will do the job just fine. Plus hopefully you won't really have to use it much anyway.

4 Wheel parts has the Warn M8000 for $525.15 with a free $50 gift card; Milemarker SE9500C for $496.79; Smittybilt XRC8 for $299.99; and the Superwinch EP9.0 for $539.99

My T-max has alot of hard pulls on it and has worked great for me. I would definately buy another one. The only part I dont like about them is the remote, it isnt very rugged

 

[Stic-o]

Think'n of put out the money and getting a Warn XD9000. I pick up a new one for under $800 to my door. Any thoughts?

My step-dad Had a "Ramsey" I think? on his 96' Suburban and it yanked him out of a lot of deep FL mudholes (sippieholes).

I have that Summit winch you posted a link to and yes its a rebadged T-max. It's done great so far -- of course its not the fastest winch out there but its very capable and has pulled my Explorer out of tough situations.

I placed the solenoid box inside the cab (center console thingy) to keep moisture/rain out of it

 

[Stic-o]

Are the intergrated winches better?

 

[IZwack]

If you plan to move the winch from one vehicle to another, an integrated winch of course has the advantage of the "all in one" package -- allowing you to plug and play without having to mess around with a separate solenoid box.

So I had a thought... I have two options...and there is a pretty clear answer I think

Do I ..

A. Buy a WARN XD9000

or about $100 bucks more

B. Buy a T-max 10000lbs....AND, pick up a 10lbs Powertank

 

[cybergasm]

of course option b

did the BII sell this weekend?

Guy is picking it up tommorow morning

If you get an integrated, get one of these, installed one this weekend

option A, warn isnt one of, if not the top winch company for nothing.

B. T-max doesnt get the credit they deserve. It is a good winch plus a Powertank! I get positive comments on my t-max all the time even from Warn owners.

Have you looked into "The Source" brand instead of Powertank? You might be able to keep that $100 extra!
