Winches

[yjdave]

Yes they are. They won't cover stupidity like wiring it backwards though.

Scince warn is about 20 miles from me and i just talked to them when i rebuilt my winch, they are not for life. Maybe the drum, shaft, or gears. But those will never break anyway, it would be the motor, bearings, or solinoids and there not covered.

I think they suck actually. They just suck less than everybody elses.
Truthfully, even you guys with Warns, think about all the times you have had to pull on a cable with all your might, winched the hook up in the fairlead, caught a splinter, had to twist the engage lever 14 times while hitting the In button, stalled the winch, had smoke coming off your battery terminals, melted a solenoid...
Not me, per se, I'm just observing what happens to the rest of y'all. I don't get stuck.

Funny, I've never seen a Warn stall or burn up yet. And you gotta admit you'd rather be turning that lever a couple of times than trying to engage that ridiculous ring clutch thing on some of the cheaper winches. By the way, I wouldn't know either, when I get stuck it takes multiple winches to get me out

I think it only fitting that I make a quote from a good old John Wayne movie.. True Grit....

That's mighty bold talk for a one-eyed fat man .....rooster.

Hey......I've got two eyes!
Just messing with yall anyway. My theory is that if you've never been stuck, you've never been anywhere.

I did stall my XD9000i in some quicksand like mud one time. It was buried to the frame and so deep that it quit churning mud and started churning dry black dirt. The auto transmission finally quit pulling and so did the winch. Hooked an extra winch to it and finally got it out. The positive battery post melted halfway through.
Ironically the same mudhole/creek/hogwallow that I later rolled the Jeep in and spilled all my beers.
