i have a winch on my grizzly and i have never used it to get unstuck...cause i have never gotten stuck... but if used it to clear trails of trees, pull trees away from my hunting camp while cutting, and pulling others out of mud and deep snow... i will have one on my rig for sure...

as far as which one to buy, no clue but i can tell you, dont go cheap, get one thats readu for the weather...go cheap and you might get stuck out in the rain...

Again, I only need it to work once.
Then if it breaks I will replace it.
Plus I can always buy a waterproof winch.

And everything u said u use urs for, I can do with my 4"x25ft tow strap or my 1"x20ft chain.

i have to give props to ren for his write-up
tons of useful info
https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f58/ho...-your-xj-2365/

so i give you "the Honey Bader" (he just doesn't give a crap)
will be rhino lined on the underbody and from the trim line down
then satin black all over
with a gloss white hood and roof










i have some vids from my adventures in colorado and one from back in wisconsin when i had my square eye, carb'd 89 wrangler
on youtube search for "inkandiphones"

so thats where i am now
stock rear bumper is cut up and about to be rewelded into a stronger, smaller version with tow hooks
same for the front bumper
also will be chopping the front fenders to match the rear and replacing stock headlights/blinkers with oval fog lights and led blinkers

maybe i just have ADHD lolol
Eeeyu, Look at the honey badger just sleeping on that fallen tree, it just dont give a ****!!!

Why ya move to fl?

I was born and raised here, Why i moved back? I WAS A DUMBAZZ ... if both my vehicles were paid for I would already be back in Colorado. eaglerock and stuff is a blast. i never had a chance to go down to penrose or any of those places. It was cool going thru the mountains from broadmoore to cripple creek, my aunt still lives there. I didnt realize just how bad it sucked in FL till I moved back. I'm tempted to sell off everything but my vehicles, rent out my house and head back up there, i miss everything, the snow,weather etc etc, and people are diffrent there. its like they are nicer

Tell me about it... only reason I'm still here is 'cause my wife won't leave her family. My parents are in KY - would MUCH rather be there.
