So I realize that I could go and drop like $1,400 for brand new Warn 12k powerplant (Drool), but do I need that at my age with my rig? Prolly not, I am 18 but and I use my X as a DD but do offroad it a bit, (would like more and plan to) So the winch doesn't have to pull a semi, won't get used daily, and doesn't have to pull me at 20 mph...
So I have looked around and I found some on Ebay, (Yes, I know it's ebay). They have a 8k but for the price why not go to 10k and just put less stress on it...
So before I tell you the name or price here are the listed specs...

The only thing that I can't find on teh 10k is the gear reduction, on their 8k it says 235:1, the 9k says 218:1, and 9.5k says 265.2:1, and the 12k says 265:1
Hmmm...from that it seems ok
The name is a Vortex Brute 10000 and off of Ebay with shipping I can have to to my door for $350 and they say thats with a 2 yr. warranty
Here is a link, http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-10000-LB-RE...goryZ310QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
So what do you guys think? Should I be the lab rat and try this out?
Seller has a 97.8% positive on 18,389 Feedbacks...
or if anybody has a 8k or 10k, warn or other brand winch for about $350 shipped to 80534 let me know...
