    Winch Problems

    So I’ve been having some issues with my winch, a Quadratec 10k winch with synthetic line. I’ve had it a few years and have only used it a handful of times. Anyways, I went to let out some of the line, not under any load and I get the clicking of the solenoid but the doesn’t go in/out. Initially...

    Synthetic winch line for Warn M8000

    Just hoping to get some recommendations on some synthetic winch lines. I know people speak very highly of TRE I am considering it but the price point is just killing me. Is there any options slightly more affordable that are still of good quality?

    SOLD Almost new winch plate

    Purchased this winch plate to mount the Smittybilt X20 just last week and decided to use a lifted plate instead to make sure both my bumper and winch were straight. Plate is almost new as it was only installed and left in for a few days without driving the jeep. You can see the installation...

    Winch plate options for the Warn Rock Crawler front bumper?

    When I bought my TJ it came with Warn's Rock Crawler front bumper, which I rather like, but over the center section of the bumper was a small hoop with tabs to mount lights, along with some upgraded tow hooks. In order to get my winch on the bumper, I have to get rid of that hoop, which is smack...

    Space between winch cross bars and spool?

    Just a quick question for you winch experts, I recently replaced my steel cable with 100' of 3/8 synthetic line. I managed to fit it all on there, but there is only around 1/2" to 3/4" of space between the full spool and the winch cross bars. How much room do you generally run? I could see how I...

    Keeping tow hooks with winch plate

    Hey fellow jeepers, I got a winch for Christmas and was looking for a winch plate. Definitely want a raised one but I can't seem to find a solid answer so whether I can keep my tow hooks with one or not. Looking mostly at the Smithybilt one.

    Is it possible to put a winch on the factory front bumper?

    I’m sorry. I like the original front bumper and I’m sorry. However, I need a winch so therefore have been thinking of replacing my front bumper but before I do. Is it possible or smart even, to place a winch on the original bumper or am I asking for trouble?? Also any recommendations on...

    Which winch?

    Help me decide! This is purely based on when I will receive this. The Smittybuilt x20 10k is 3-5 days out. I can get the Warn VR EVO 10-S today. Both with synthetic line. Is it worthwhile to wait 3-5 days to save $200 or is the Warn really worth it. Please vote. Poll open for 1 day. Thank you!

    Difference Between Cheap and Name Brand Winch Rope?

    So, I know that with anything recovery related, it's usually best to source things from a well known, well respected supplier, but what exactly is the difference between something like this cheap rope and this Warn rope, besides a $300 price difference? Quality control? American made +...

    Is my front bumper setup wrong?

    If you look at the photos above the bumper kinda rests on a bolt that is attached to the frame I guess. Is the metal plate the Winch is attached too supposed to be bolted to that or is resting on top of it ok?
