Ok im thinking of getting a winsh for the Jeep but im not sure about how much it should be able to pull.

 

I have the Smittybilt Xrc-8 on my 97 Jeep cherokee. Its rated to pull 8k LBS. Its pretty cost efficient too, 300 bucks. pulls mine out of everything without a hassle. What kind of jeep do u have?

 

LOL,, i think you mean a winch

 

oh never mind, didn't see your model. If you want a lower priced winch this is the cheapest one i could get, its not the best but it works great, had it for 2 years and still running fine. I use it often. Here is a link http://www.quadratec.com/products/92122_1000_07.htm its actually on sale right now. Oh and its spelled winch

 

Im looking a a winch that pulls 4000LBS for 399.99 but there one that pulls 100,000 for 649.99 and i drive a XJ 98 4-door fully loaded sport

 

4000lbs winch of pretty small for an xj,,, i wouldnt get anything under 8000lbs

 

Remember you also need a bumper to put the winch onto as well

 

Now that's a hell of a deal. That must be one large "winsh" though.

 

4,000 pounds is probably not the way to go. I mean think about it, your jeep weighs probably 3500 or so and when its stuck it takes a little more to pull it out. I don't even think they make a winch for a vehicle that low, thats more for 4-wheelers. 8,000 for the smittybilt, thats a good winch, and it would save u 100 bucks. only 300. way better than a 4lb. Dont do it, you will regret it

 

no jeep winch will pull 100,000 pounds, not even the best warn could do that. it would rip the jeep in half

 

Cool thanks guys

 

get the 100,000 what is that for tanks or other military vehicles or something, good deal tho

 

well the general rule is..typically manufacturers and resellers will suggest you should calculate the winch rating by taking the gross vehicle weight and multiplying it by 1.5 and that would be your minimum winch size.

 

I have pictures up of my cherokee with the xrc-8 winch and my winch bumper on my profile if you want to have a look

 

yea man you got a nice jeep i think il get it
