I’ll quote a local Jeep maven: "I’ve never wanted a winch to pull me further into trouble.” He has a 12,000 planetary drive winch with a trailer coupler on it. Has high amperage plugs and trailer balls front and rear. Moves it from one end to the other as needed. Neat setup. Something like this: https://harborfreight.com/apex-12000-lb-winch-with-synthetic-rope-and-wireless-remote-56385.html

Given the potential to get stuck in snow, I am researching a winch to go on my front bumper. I just added the Westy World bumper, which is about as sturdy as they come. Now I am gathering information about a winch to bolt to my new bumper. Does anyone on the list have experience with a winch on their van and have any recommendations? > > Thanks > Dave B > Boise |
