Re: Winches
why is one any better than the other?! (not trying to start another
winching debate!).
We picked up a Tirfor at work (do a google on that).
Can't remember how much they said it'd lift/pull (different models). but we
just insert the raw end of the cable and the other end has the little loop
on it, then just hammer back on a lever and it pulls the steel rope in.
I'll see if I can find the info on it....

i have to respectfully disagree. i dropped my old snorkeled '82 toyota 4x4
in a hole that ended up being a lot deeper than i thought. the lights would
run with the battery under water, but the starter wouldnt turn the truck
engine over. once we pulled it out it cranked and ran fine.
