looking for a winch

[LoneRanger]

I'm saving up to get a good WARN winch sometime down the line. In the mean time I'd like to put a used, low end winch on my truck--something like a mile marker or the like. I'd appreciate letting me know if anyone has or hears of one for sale.

thanks.

Looking for a wench

I'm looking for a wench with cooking, cleaning and dog washing skills. If she could get my truck unstuck when I'm off road that would be even better!

I'd like the heads up on a used warn in the 10K lb range if someone sees one.

Lowe's carries a line of Warn winches- I just saw them yesterday. Barry, you could weld it right on to your bumper. It would probably pull it right off, but that's about it. I think they go up to around an 800 lb. rating. That might get me and my ice chest out of the mud.... Or perhaps a couple mountain bikes.

MileMarkers are junk! I have a 12K that broke on the third light use, then they sent me the parts to fix it and then broke the next use.

Know of any others that are decent?

Barry, check ebay & also the local paper.

When checking ebay, narrow your search to local zip codes, & the local paper is where we found Ashley's Warn 12K.

If You haven't gotten it installed by christmas break, I could come by and lend a hand. Is your's from TPI?

I hear good things about Superwinch but to be honest I won't buy anything but a Warn from now on.

I have had a Warn and it worked great. Last one I got is a TMaxx which I have been happy with. I have a buddy that had a TMaxx and that is why I went with it, he abused his and had countless pulls on it, even had been under water a time or two and it always worked flawlessly.

Interesting thread

Look in Tradewinds trader magazine- one can find it for $1.19 at most gas stations around here. You can find everything from a hurrycane damaged winch to a hurrycane damaged wench. I've bought several things out of there and made some good money flipping them on ebay.

Drive on.

look at summit brand winches, they are made by T-max. i have been told they are one of the fastes winches on the market and most reliable. you can get a 9k non-integrated for like $505.
