Winch question

Don't know about champion, but an 8000 warn 8274 will pull my CJ out of the mud nearly straight up.

It surely will, but not over a rock. Or that spare tire you buried for an anchor, out of the ground. God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com

I guess you guys need heard of a snatch blok with a double pulley to make a 6K wench a 12 k and a 8 K at 16K. But there are those that still think you need a 9 or 12K wench for a 3500 lb jeep. Then you have to power it and big wenchs can kill battery fast too. The smart buy is a high quality 6 or 8K model that is efficent on power and has a large motor with a very good duty cycle. ALso lets not forget that when you start pulling at around 6 to 8k and more line load if you use a snatch block with a doubler you line load with only be 3 to 4K on wench and while it will run a bit slower, it will run a lot cooler because wich motor does not have to work as hard and it greatly reducely the chance of a cable failure or burnt out wench motor in high usage.

I know.

Always slow on the uptake.

Poor guy.

Must be a real bitch, always being behind, always losing, always coning in something other than first, never quite measuring up in any way.

Well, you always have suicide. It generally comes highly praised by the survivors.

And finally, after 65 years, many folks will say for once ya done good.
