a 2000 pound pull wouldnt even come close to pulling a cj when its
buried to the rockers in mud. stuck bad enough, a 5000 pound pull
wouldnt do the job. i buried my sahara to the floorboards and my 9500
pound ramsey wouldnt budge it (the fault of the nutless stock battery,
not the winch). my brother hooked his v10 f250 to my sahara and
snapped a 10,000 pound clevis trying to pull me. we ended up wiring
his truck battery parallel with my jeep battery an winching it out with
a ****** block.

 

Anyone care to comment on the report, not sure if this was sponsored by
Milemarker, seems like a independent report but it sure slams Warn electric
winches. it states that a Warn 9000 fried when pulling a test load of 6000
lbs and the cable broke around that same weight.

Don't know how to do the math eh? If you would do the math, you'd
disprove what you just said... it's a simple amp-hour math problem that
you can use to prove me or you wrong... I dare you. ;)

That so-called "independent report" produced a scandal when it was
uncovered that the president of Milemarker had personally initiated and
paid for it. It was certainly no blind study with controls. It was
originally touted by Milemarker as an independent report produced
without their knowledge. The president later owned up to having paid to
have it done. Really, not a rumor. What kills me is they're still
sending that video out free to anyone who asks for it.
