Bought a 10.00 winch today
 

The owner had this on his jeep and upgraded to a newer winch.

Looks like this:

Marked "pulls up to 3500 pounds" on the side

I was thinking of this as a secondary winch, maybe in the back? When I did
a search for it on the web I saw it was mostly listed as a general use boat
winch.

I thought, for 10.00 what the heck.

Any suggestions on use?

Thanks,

Bill

That'll be great for pulling up the soft top in a brisk wind!

It would make a slick lift for your hard top if you mount it to the
rafter in your garage. 3500 pounds might sound like enough but that's
3500 pounds *on wheels*, not stuck in muck or even sand or snow. Your
3500 pound Jeep can dig itself into about 10,000 pounds of resistance
when stuck, even in slippery junk. Clay can up that to 15,000 or more.
I've seen it take two tow trucks pulling together to get a pickup out of
deep wet clay.
