WHICH WINCH TO BUY???

[f5fstop]

I have alway heard, and lived by when I had a Winch, that its rating should be 1.5 times the GVWR of the vehicle it is mounted to. The H3 is 5850, so the winch should be at least 8775. So 8000 is too small, and 9500 is bigger than required. A 9000 would be ok, but I would go no lower.

I like Warn, but there are other reliable ones out there.

The Warn Power Plant weighs 100lbs and the 9500 weighs 89lbs.

Not much differnce considering it has an air compressor built in.

I'm thinking that powerplant would be a pretty sexy thing to have in an integrated style winch bumper??

And you wouldn't need to borrow my compressor anymore.

Get a 9.5. Never know when you'll need to pull out a stuck H2.





BTW. I still hate you.

Cool



I'd want a Warn with synthetic winch line.

Excellent info as usual

Mile Marker has a relationship with HUMMER and the Military. It seems as thought they are not as widely used as Warn. Any particular reason?
