...A winch is a mechanical device that is used to pull in (wind up) or let out (wind out) or otherwise adjust the "tension" of a rope or wire rope (also called "cable" or "wire cable"). In its simplest form it consists of a spool and attached hand crank. In larger forms, winches stand at the heart of machines as diverse as tow trucks, steam shovels and elevators. The spool can also be called the winch drum. More elaborate designs have gear assemblies and can be powered by electric, hydraulic, pneumatic or internal combustion drives. Some may include a solenoid brake and/or a mechanical brake or ratchet and pawl device that prevents it from unwinding unless the pawl is retracted. Read full entry

How strong should a winch on I have a 2001 Jeep Wrangler,
and I intend on doing much
off-roading, and other winch
involving activities such as
boating. My friends say the
capacity should be at least
6000 rolling pounds and 2000
straight pulling pounds. I
think more. Any suggestions?
Anyone have a winch they are
selling???
I need to spend as little as
possible.

Like said before, the general rule is 1.5 times your rig's gross weight. A 9500 pounder would be the absolute max you'll need. An 8000 pound winch will do just fine. While it's true that getting unstuck can call for more than a single line pull from an 8000, all you need is a snatch block, and you'll double your pull capacity. A 10K winch may sound great, but the weight is going to become a factor hanging off of the front of such a lightweight 4x4 as yours. You don't want to hang any more weight off the front bumper than necessary. A 10K also has less line to work with than an 8 or 9.5K. Don't wimp out on brands. You will regret it if you buy some el-cheapo no-name Chinese winch that cooks itself the first time you put a real load to it! Get a good one such as a Warn, Ramsey, or Mile Marker. |
