Winches

CONFIRMED! That price is for the bumper only!!!

The best price I have found on that setup is $1395. And that was a pre-order whe they were first released.

Go tO Ebay if you wan that one. Sortztrailers has them for about that price. You do have to drill into your frame for that one.

If you buy it, plan on having re-powderoated before you install. They do a crap job. I have had three of them. The last one I had re-pc'd.

Thanks everyone for your replies... How necessary is a winch over some good 30 or 40,000 tow straps/shackels/snatch block/etc.

the straps wont pull you by themselves

I know that the straps won't do it alone. I don't plan on going wheeling by myself... My brother will most likely be there to pull me out or vise versa.

answered it yourself then.

I guess what I'm trying to say is are there any real added benifits to having a winch over just the straps looking at a cost point of view...

If there are huge benifits over straps then I'll still drop the $$$ on a winch, but if it's all the same if someone else will most likely be around to pull then I'll just get some good straps.
