Have a line on one that is used. good shape all there and has manuals. Any opinions on it ?

I take the old TV/VCR combo approach. That is that if you bought a TV/VCR combo and the TV died, you've got a really big VCR. With this winch, if the winch craps out, you've got a big compressor on your bumper. And vice versa. Though, I cannot comment on their reliability.
If it is less than $700, I say go for it, but you can get a used 8274, which is arguably the best winch out there for FJ40s, for right around that price.

I was thinking along the same lines. Guy wants 700 for all of it.

I have one on the Rubicon. If you are looking used, be sure that it has the latter style controller as they changed the design for a reason. Think it was $200 or so to upgrade the parts.
I've had the winch for maybe three years now and only used it a handful of times, but after I replaced that part it's worked just fine. Only really got the compressor part for quick zips with power tools and haven't really tried airing up larger tires with it just yet.

Btw, I got mine for $500 with the older parts then dumped time and money to "modernize" it all.

Would love to but 700-900 for a beat one is all I’m seeing

Most of these winches have little to no use. After owning mine for over 15 years, I doubt I have more than 1-2 hours of actual winching time. Kind of like a football game.

I didn’t know that was an option!?!?

Isn't there a joke about when Bob's the big hand is on the little hand??? Probably NSFW.

I prefer spooning.
But thank you. I went to marketplace and searched warn 8724 and got a response back with one that was parts up in Pa. I must be doing something wrong.

@1MOA You might try leaving out 8274 when searching for “Warn winch”. I think the best deals pop up when the seller only knows that it is an old model winch made by Warn. It’s a waiting game but you can win if you’re not in a hurry and don’t mind driving.

Not joking here (for once...), but also search "wench".

That’s true. Spell check does not like Winch.
