IML: winch recommendations

[<tdcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael

I bought a Warn winch with 12,000 lb capacity and am extremely pleased.  I would "over-buy" rather than come up short.  The larger winch capacity will handle a heavy car with no air in tires w
hich is not uncommon.  It costs a little more but you won't regret the extra pulling power.
