One's too many and a thousands not enough!! In my adventures of riding my Brute when my ankle isn't busted its always a thrill be it cheap or not to loft that front end w/ease. Here is a potential problem, I have been looking at winches from a very serious perspective but am afraid that the 30lbs of weight might present its share of problems. Personally I am not planning on going anywhere that would facilitate me getting stuck but sometimes situations present themselves unexpectedly. The bonus question is will the added weight of the winch be a hindrance?

Daddy Rabbit the winch will not change a thing, just give you the piece of mind that you can be a recovery vehicle for other brands

Its top secret!!!! LOL

NO I put it in there for mud bogs after I got done with my motor. I have yet to run a bog since but it seems to be better in deep water and coming out of mudholes. So its staying in there all the time

Personally I am not planning on going anywhere that would facilitate me getting stuck but sometimes situations present themselves unexpectedly. The bonus question is will the added weight of the winch be a hindrance?

I must say that you just may have the best grammar and wording of all the Highlifter members. That's nice to see.
