For another $250.00 this guy could have bought a brand new 8274.

It's a nice one...no doubt, but $811.00 is defintitely the high end for these winches.

They said not some peice of junk and the words AMC Jeep were in the same sentence. That is a lot of money to pay for that winch hope it treats him well and doesnt break the first time using it.

Come on he wanted to complete his original "piece". Now it's complete.
Btw at least the winch does'nt know what's on it or what it's on!

FWIW he'll be able to self rescue and not ask a Landcruiser owner to help!

Just wait around that winch will be up for sale soon enough and probably still serviceable, at the least it will out last the rig it will be on!

AMC guys are a little nuts. I was one once too. After I sold my Grand Wagoneer, I sold an NOS AMC AM/FM/CB radio that I bought at a garage sale for 5 bucks still in the box for 400 dollars. CRAZY!!!
