Just browsing around on Ebay and came across one of these.

Winch Cover

Any thoughts and opinions?

 

I don't know, I think it would be a PIA to keep removing it on and off. And I guess it
depends on your setup. Some have them that petrude enough out the front end
to where you can easily reach. I for one have the WARN winch the sets in the Polaris
front end, whereby getting you fingers and reach around your winch is CUMBERSOME. IMO

I wouldn't put a cover on my winch. The moisture that may get in there and have no escape can't be good.

 

I would be concerned about trapping mud and mositure as well.

 

I thought about it at first, but the more I think about it, it would be a BIG PITA

just say no to covers. but covers on off roads lights in some states its the law. you have to cover the aux lights. theres a dominos pizza here that has a old police car with a red and blue led lightbar on it. you can see the color of it since its clear. but the city made him put a cover on it saying "not in service".

 

the cover would do more then harm then good as to hold the mud/moisture. its easier when you get back to wash off the winch and if its a good winch the water/mud wouldnt hurt it anyways. imo.

 

I think those covers are made to cover up dead Polaris brand winches.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I would use it so people thing I really have a warn when all I got was a pos polaris winch with a warn sticker on it! LOL!

I had a cover for my winch on my jeep once and it was a PITA. I use my atv winch waayyyy more than I ever used my jeep winch, so I'm sure it would be an even bigger PITA! But, it is one of those things that catch your eye and make you wonder. I have seen quite a few items come across that I do the same with and after thinking about it more I realize what a PITA they would be.
