Cheap Winch

[Jeeppicus]

I had a friend tell me about an 8000 lbs. winch from Harbor Freight. Sounded like a good deal for $300. I know you get what you pay for, but he's had his for a year with no problem and he uses it all the time (Chevys with IFS get stuck alot. ). I picked one up today.

I am going to try either the one you got or a Ramsey 8000e... For the wheeling I do, either will work.

Oh No, not the winch discussion again! LOL. The winch will be good for light duty winching. -al
