Hey there, I have a set of 5 BFG T/A K/O's that have about 8,000 miles on them(the spare has 0 miles). 265/75 R16, they were take offs from my FJ. They have never been plugged, or patched, and look good as new. I would like to get $600 for them, but will entertain any offers. I am in Lafayette area, so give me a call if interested.

My Warn 9000 is way lighter than my 8274. Just sayin. My 8274 is faster than my 9000 and my 12000, but my 9.5 XP is just as fast as my 8274. 8274 is pretty though.

Sounds like it is time to change the battery on my FJ-40. Maybe the duel batteries on the 80 make it seem faster.

I made another mistake, my BJ-40 has a Warn 8000. 74 lbs. It is not 9000.

I knew I was barking up the wrong tree.

Later,

Will make someone a good rig

[muddog]

Got a ? why a syntetic rope and not a cable, also thanks for everyones input on the winch proud to be apart of a forum that actually helps

[muddog]

Does it come with the dog? ha

[moomtazz]

The rope is lighter and if it snaps it probably won't kill anyone. It's not as durable as wire though.

[kjnarmyfj]

yup safer and no splinters and is stronger it come with a sleave so if it is touching the ground it wont jack it up , say 100 ft of cabel for a 10000 lb winch it weighs like 25 lbs wher syn rope is 1 lbs

[raevenzero]

Don't have to worry about synth getting kinks in it either.

[muddog]

i see that buggy can't weigh that much either though

[kjnarmyfj]

idkwhat it weight is but i have 10 lbs of air and it looks like i have 40 in the tires

[muddog]

ha i wasn't meaning to get that technical but ok do you have a price for the winch?

[kjnarmyfj]

i have to get rid of my pet snake she is a 9 ft coulmbian red tail boa 6 years old she wont grow no more , shes have never struck any any one real freiendly i have had her sence she was small if some one in the club wants her 50$ come with big custome made cage , i have 2 get rid of her cuz deployment , ;(

I use synthetic. When it breaks it just falls to the ground. You can pull it around/over trees and through the mud with no worries. You cannot use it to pull over rocks. If you want to use it in a rocky environment, you can buy Master Pull with a protective sleeve over the synthetic line. I have some of that too and it is pretty tough. The only problem I have found with synthetic is if it is not wound very tight on the spool it can bury itself into the spool. Wire scares the s**t out of me. I do use wire sometimes but I have a 100 foot remote (key chain) with antenna. Wire also puts nice cuts in your hand if you don't wear gloves and some of the strands are frayed.

[muddog]

I was just thinking that the synthetic just wouldn't be that tough

[kjnarmyfj]

the cabel i had had like a 8500 break and the synthetic rope same size had 13,000 and its blue (mathes teh fj ) and came with the sleave, that i did use when i winched off the tree i huged lol i think its one of the best things sence a hot pockets came out ! haha

[muddog]

haha do they have a video of that cause i think i seen it and if so can't say it wouldn't of happpened to me i prolly would have backed up and hit it again how much does that rope run

[kjnarmyfj]

yea ther a y0u tube vid on here some place ill find it and post it its like it depends go to master pull .com are amsteel
