DO NOT GET A HARBOR FREIGHT WINCH!!!! those are junk. you can buy an entier model-specific kit from a good manufacturer. i use/recomend viper for 2+ years. if you decide to look at viper winches do not buy off of ebay, here is a like to the manufacturer:

http://motoalliance.com/ <- not the $500 oyu will pay for a warn, and comes with a good warrenty, customer service, ect. something to look into

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] y thank you toddmh, usually i get nothing but ppl bashine me over recomending a viper. like i said, not all viper are created equal. buy from the manufacturer, its cheeper and more relyable than ebay junk
