Re: Winches
But really....if the water level got to the height of the battery
terminals...wouldn't that short it out? forget the water level in the cab
getting in to those cheesy connectors that we put on our CB's and stuff..

Re: Winches
Not to start a flame war or anything,but how often has your engine been dead
and you had to save a bus lode of nuns from the raging rapids of the largest
river known to man.
All things being equal which one would you really want to own the one that
will pull the whole bus lode of nuns up a 80' embankment at 90% and save all
there lives, or try to pull them 30' have the electric go up in smoke and
they are all left there dangling for there lives until some one with a
hydraulic winch comes to the rescue and saves all of them.
Lets get real I've sat here time and time again and heard all the horror
stories about those sad and sorry people who have regretted buying a
hydraulic winch and I just don't get it . It is just quite simply crap. You
guys that make these claims just don't get it.
If your engine is dead in the water so darn deep that it will kill your
engine than I'd like to see you power swim up the fricking river and jump
out hook up your golden winch and power swim back to your jeep if it's still
there and winch your shocked as e's out of the river.
And now I have to ask. DO you really think you can swim the English channel
as well. Lets' get real when you ad up all the pluses and minuses of each
one they all have there game. Some better then the others. I have seen them
all work and now I own a Mile Marker Hydraulic for over four years now I
have had to finish pulling people out of spots that the Electric winch
couldn't do the job. And now your trying to say just how shi ty the
hydraulic winch is and I'm ROTFLMAO. I wouldn't try and tell you how bad a
set of Boggers are in a mud hole with out having owned a set so don't try
and tell people how bad a hydraulic winch is when you've never owned one.
Grow up and start Jeeping in the real world and stop talking internet crap.

Spoken like someone who's invested a lot of money in a hydraulic
winch....Bill knows better, he uses the PTO and all the Nuns, well, they're

Re: Winches
I have seen cars drive off the road and be completely submerged, in a
canal or lake, and the headlights continue shining under water for
quite some time - I don't think the water will carry that small amount
of current enough to affect you immediately - that said, if the water
gets that high, you are probably screwed anyway! LOL
