Need help with choosing a winch

[w squared]

I have a spare winch in the garage that needs other parts. I'll gladly swap you drums...I'm fine with ugly on my jeep.
Let me know.

Gun, you know that if you put that double width drum on your winch, Ron is going to expect you to do all of his bodywork.

Good one Todd. Funny thing is when I thought of the uses of the double wide drum on the jeep and extra cable, extracting a vehicle wasn't the first thing I thought of.  Adding the body work idea to the mix makes it even more useful.

Looks pretty sharp to me. If you expect anything 20 years old (that isn't blonde) to look pretty without a little TLC you're crazy! A little time with a wire wheel or bead blaster and a fresh coat of paint later they shine right up.

The 8274 gets my vote! It has that classic look to it especially on older cjs and yjs.

Meh, this ones 40+ yrs old with zero tlc and it looks brand new still. Its the Bellview 5687, the predecessor to the Warn 8274...
