you planning on a different winch for the front?

[Sharpe]

Yup, 8274.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

what is that one rated at?

[Doug Krebs]

what is that one rated at?

It's rated ****ing awesome! They have one of the fastest line speeds. 8274's give me wood!

[DRAGOONRANCH]

yeah, but is it going to be able to pull that big hunk o' american made steel? :O

[bcolman]

he may need a snatch block depending on the situation, but it should pull without one, it will might just be a little slow

[Sharpe]

8274's are the fastest winch warn makes and I know for a fact they have enough cajones to get the job done. Not to mention they hold more cable than any other winch.

I dunno what they are rated at, we have one on the front of our new turd and everyone has always said 12,000 but I don't think it is rated that high. They are definitely the fastest at 73.4 feet per minute!

[DRAGOONRANCH]

You will definitely need that snatch block.



Is the one you are going to put on there an old one, or a newer model.

[Sharpe]

The one I am using came with a "free" 74 CJ5 attached to it, its prety old. I'll probably go through it and grease the gears. It might need to have a solenoid or two replaced as well. It worked when I got it, I used it to help pull the jeep off the trailer.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

That's a hellufan acquisition there! Don't let Doug around it, he will end up 'greasing' the gears for you.

[uglyota]

is that your HAD or a stock one? If it's stock go ahead and cut the rest of the tube off and replace it with some sch40

[Sharpe]

It used to be a HAD, then I bent the tube bottoming it out on a crossmember I should have trimmed. It was then replaced with sch 40. The piece I cut out probably weighs around 10-15 lbs

[uglyota]

nice...carry on!

[AggieTJ2007]

I vote sch80. little heavy but not too bad
