i want to buy a winch for my h3, I have seen a lot of winch and their mounting bases, the prices are also going up and down. can any one reccomend me or tell me more about some winch makes. here are the ones I have seen.
milemaker 12000 lbs outside
ramsey 8,500 lbs inside
warn 9000 lbs inside or 9.5ti outside

which can you recommend me the best of this 4 winches
thanks

 

whichever one has the best price if I had to pick lol... cause those are all good winches...

 

Those are all good winches. I think Warn is probably the most popular in my mind.

 

A good rule of thumb is 2x your vehicle weight. In your case a 9000lb winch is fine. Now if you plan on winching out H2's you might want to get a 12,000 lb one!

 

For what it's worth, I've been wheeling a long time, and would NEVER own anything other than a Warn or Ramsey. I've seen to many of brand X crap out when needed most.. which is anytime your using it, if you get my drift. Warn and Ramsey's cost a little bitmore (depending on model), but you get what you pay for.. and they can, and do, stand up toa lot ofoff road abuse, and still keep working.

Just my 2 cents

 

I agree with the fireman, Warn or Ramsey...I personally prefer Warn just cause they are reliable I have more experiance with them but I do have a ramsey on my boat trailer and that lil SOB has never let me down.

 

I have a Mile Marker and have been pretty impressed.
The military has apparantly started switching some of the hmmvee's from Warns to Mile Marker
My only complaint is it rusts like mad but with the amount of winter highway driving I do, that was to be expected.

 

I avtually just got a warn powerhouse with built in air compressor today. I love seeing the UPS truck pull up

 

LOL, .. powerplant. Same difference .. lol.

 

don't matter...it ain't MineMy brother had it shipped to my house because someone had to sign for it.[:@][:@][:@]...I'm putting his new warn bumper and winch on this weekend (if it warms up) I'll post pics when I'm done.
