I am preparing my parts stock for a fj40 rebuild this spring.. not going to go into all the details now, but i'm loosing some major weight.. I think i want to get rid of my 8274-50's and get some smaller lighter winches. one will go behind the grill and the other in between the rear frame rails. Does anyone have any suggestions on a decent winch that is affordable? I dont need lightning fast or top of the line, i normally just use my winches for helping other people anyway.
I would also like an oppinion on what my 2 8274-50's are worth? Would it be likely that anyone would trade me a lighter bottom mount winch for my front mounts?
I found a website where they take your winch and cut it down for "compitition". What is the purpose for that? How much weight does it take off. Are there specs for comp rigs limiting winch size?
any constructive input, possitive or negative will be appreciated.
