I was sceptical on buying one but curiosity got me and I was very impressed and surprised how much alike they are.

Toys.
How hard you think it would be to mount one of these in the rear of my machine...I have a Polaris rear bumper back there so I think it would be a good spot just above that.....Probably have to do away with the toolbox.......What do you think?????

i just purchased the 3000lb gorilla for my arctic cat. It was only $15 more than the 2500 so why not. I definetly looks like a warn 2.5. The only thing is it comes with a 30ft cable. thats short so I am thinking of replacing the cable with a 50 foot synthetic rope.

I think I will get me one, Where did you get the 60 ft cable at. I will need all I can. The pic on the site makes it look like you cant put much more on it.

The cheapest place I found the synthetic cable is at rockstomper.com

You can get it in 100ft sections. I bought 100ft and put 60ft on the winch and made a pull strap out of the rest.
