Finally decided to find a winch so I dont end up spending the night in the woods again like last weekend. Found this bad boy on craigslist for $200. It was a winch used by the local sheriff's office dive team. The guy says he tried it last night and it worked but I haven't tried it. I have his business card and he said give him a call if I have any issues. My buddy says with it being a WARN winch I should be ok because any issues as far as with the solenoids or motor I can just by replacement parts. I went to my local haborfreight today and bought the winch mount for the reese receiver so I will work on mounting it tonight and hoping tomorrow I can go get stuck some where and try it out! Super excited now because usually I have to beg a buddy to come wheeling with me just so I have some one to pull me out but now I have a way to pull myself out!! I looked these bad boys up online and they are selling anywhere from $600-850 so I feel that I get a good deal on it! I will mount it and take a pic of my setup and see what yall think. My bumper is pretty ghetto looking but hopefully it'll be good for what I built it for.
