Thank you SO much. I knew that would be riot. Gang, as much as I would love to re-post buzz's e-mail here it would get the thread yanked due to the names he called FTE and the users here at FTE. Simply e-mail me if you want a laugh too and I will forward it to you. Damn, that was precious.......whew

Okay, time to bury this thread before Ryan sees it and puts you all in time out . . . silly kids. Pro, are you on valium or oxycontin or something? So calm and laid back lately!

Look at the link I posted in "another wheeling sight" thread. So I far I've gone to his home turf and owned him. If I act up here stuff vanishes, so I took it to the source. Your right though, this topic needs to be dropped here. It would be sad if Ryan had to lock his own thread

lol, wow.....even the more reason to ignore him. almost over the hill and he is arguing over the internet

i have never run a hydro winch before......can i make my own fittings and tap into my p/s box or should I go buy the expensive kit? I think I am gonna get that industrial Ramsey to mount on my truck. But this one I am gonna mount to the top of the cab so it will stick out of the mud so it will work.....cause someone once told me that a winch doesn't work in the mud! guess they outta come out with self-recovery equipment that works one day!

oh yea and BTW...... RAMSEY SUCKS Buzz!

Hi,

Not to get anymore fights started or anything, but I have not heard anybody say anything(good or bad) about SuperWinch. I have a friend who will sell me a NIB 8000# unit for $425.

Lets here it. Good, Bad, or Ugly?

Tex, you have a superwinch? I thought you had a milemarker? And who said you don't really wheel? Nevermind, I can guess, but he's on my ignore list so I get nothing when I go back to read the posts. Anyways, consider the source and don't sweat it. Your cool in my book.

just to update everyone....my ramsey winch crapped out on me again this weekend. I reels in and out fine but it won't pull! think the motor may be shot but who knows. Harbor Freight is gonna get a lovely phone call tom. hopefully they will send me 2 brand new ones and then I am gonna sell them to get me a different winch.

Ramsey crapped out? What are you smokin'?

Sad thing is you only break out a winch when you're REALLY in trouble. That is not the time to have it die on you. Sorry to hear it died . . . again!
