Title: costco winch
Post by: tymbre1 on June 04, 2007, 12:47:06 PM

I bought the champion 9500 lbs winch from costco and am very impressed with it so far.The first pull was my 15 passenger van with my holiday trailer up a 3% grade in the mud,and ive done 3 other hard pulls with it as well. This combo weighs 12'000 lbs combined and no problems.This winch comes with a receiver mount plate and a snatch block for $400.It also mounts directly onto the warn mount plate for the tj.Almost forgot this comes with the roller fairlead as well.More than a good deal in my estimation. :D

They are a good winch as long you know the limits, and dont push it crazy hard.

2 freinds have blown them up that I know, and I've heard of some others. But those were really bad pulls.
