Winch setups!

[Nitrofreak]

I want to put a winch in my rig eventually. Can you guys post pics of you winch setups? Also how big doo I need on a 1500 4x4 (of course). 8000lbs? Too much too little?

I would say ATLEAST 12k... I read an article somewhere that talked about that when you use a winch, you are usually in a mess, so you need to account for: vehicle weight, resistance of mess you're in, weight of mess you're in, and a few other variables, I'll see if I can find it...

Not the one I was thinking of, but still good:

I've got a great web site for winch info, but it's at work. I'll post it up tomorrow.

This is a 9k Mile Marker. I needed a winch for a competition(Log Crawl) and this was the cheapest one I could find. Worked okay, was a little clunky. I never felt safe in free spool, the clutch wasn't very direct. If I would have had the money I would have bought a Warn.

Warn XD9000i. Works just fine and actually keeps up with progress, I hate slow winches. I've only snatched it once and that was when we had 3 rigs pulling a 4th random near stock 04-07 GM HD out of a grill deep mud/clay pit.

Way better than my Mile Marker. How is the free spool? Pretty direct clutch engagement? Ever "smoked" it?

I plan on getting a Rough Country Winch not long after I get my lift done, I want a 12K one with the steel cable.

Haven't been able to find anybody that has complained about them so far
